Hotel Celimar

The hotel is older but still very pretty. It was clean. Although there was some water damage around the shower enclosure. The closet was spacious. Although it is a smaller room(older buildings do tend to have smaller rooms) they had added some extra ledges to place your things on. Like over the head board of the bed, over the heat radiator, and over the desk. The location is good. Many people were enjoying sitting out front enjoying coffee and cocktails. Our frustration came with the parking. We had a rental car so when we saw there was parking on the hotel information, that was why we booked the one night stay before leaving for the airport the next day. It was 20€ to park. And it was 1.5km (if I remember correctly) away. Which isn’t far, that’s true. We had been driving for 9 hours that day and had to leave early in the morning so that just added some frustration. It was in a parking garage, which is nice. But it was no easy task getting down to level -2 level. I lost sleep worrying about whether we could even get out in the morning. Because if cars parked around us, I wasn’t sure we could get the car out of the tight space! Thankfully, no one parked too close and we got out. Again, the hotel was nice, staff was very helpful and friendly and it is a lovely location! (We had a room that faced another building so we didn’t really enjoy the ocean view and we didn’t have time to sit out front for a meal)

I’ll start with the positives, the location is super. Beachfront, beautiful looking hotel from the front. The staff was all very friendly and pleasant. Unfortunately this hotel needs modernising. We’re regular visitors to the area and have stayed in far better hotels for half the price. They are taking money but not putting it back into the hotel which is a shame. It’s not a quaint hotel, it’s old and tired. The cleaners in a morning couldn’t make anymore if they tried. The walls and doors are paper thin so it’s impossible sleep or lie in. The electric buzzed all night long. The smells from the bathroom was gross. I could go on but I won’t. Would not return.

The room was clean, had all the basics, and the staff was very friendly

Location cleanliness and staff

Great
