What guests think

At Hotel Light, travellers find a convenient base within walking distance of sights and transport, friendly staff, and clean, simple rooms for short stays, though space is frequently tight and rooms can face noise from the street or corridor.

A recurring drawback is the absence of an elevator, with steep, narrow stairs that make heavy luggage challenging. Service is often welcoming, but check-in information and limited reception hours create confusion for some guests. Wi-Fi reliability and breakfast or bar availability vary, with reports of weak signals and limited or closed bar hours. Expect a simple, no-frills stay in a convenient area.

Ik heb hier niet een fijne ervaring gehad. Het personeel was niet onvriendelijk, maar ook niet gastvrij. Receptioniste gaf geen uitleg over de faciliteiten, huisregels of wat dan ook, was ook bijna vergeten de kamersleutel te overhandigen. Er is geen lift aanwezig en parkeren op straat is enorm prijzig. Handdoeken in het hotel waren versleten en het bed was niet comfortabel. Enige positieve wat ik kan zeggen is dat het redelijk dichtbij het centrum ligt met de auto.

We had a lovely room under the eves. The room was clean and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There is easy access to public toilets and we were able to walk to the port in about 20 minutes. The only issue was hauling our heavy suitcases up two steep flights of stairs. So thankful for the staff who helped us.

Ottima posizione e stanza pulita e soprattutto luminosa, degna del nome dell’hotel. Personale gentile e disponibile. Unica pecca: scale ripide e mancanza di ascensore il che rende le camere difficilmente accessibi. In generale ottima esperienza

El internet está pésimo, no hay un área en donde puedas sentarte a responder correos, no tienen personal que te ayude, si necesitas dejar tu equipaje antes de las 3pm, tienes que ir a otro hotel a que lo guarden. No tienen elevadores y las escaleras son muy reducidas por lo que llegar con equipaje es complicado.

De accommodatie was netjes, de mensen aardig, maar het was erg eenvoudig. Zowel de accommodatie als het ontbijt was eenvoudig en simpel. Voor wat we ervoor betaald hebben, vonden we dit het geld niet waard. Er is een bar en een gemeenschappelijke ruimte, echter vanaf 15 uur is die niet toegankelijk en ‘s avonds een drankje drinken is dus niet mogelijk. Voor dit geld, kiezen we de volgende keer een ander hotel.

I was not very satisfied with the condition of the accommodation in this hotel. My room was extremely noisy as the main window was broken and not closing properly and I could hear all of the traffic from the street. When I told the Receptionist on check out she really didn't seem bothered about it. The shower also didn't work properly and there was no hot water. I would not recommend this and it is very overpriced for the standard of room you get.

Clean, comfortable and well located hotel. The staff (I think I met the owners) were very helpful and welcoming, for e.g. it was raining heavily and they let me borrow a personal umbrella and suggested restaurants for dinner. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom modern. It was very clean throughout. This hotel is excellent value for money considering its cleanliness and location. My only criticism is not the fault of the hotel but other guests, who were noisy in the corridors late at night. Some form of noise insulator/soundproofing under the gap under my bedroom door might have helped quieten noise from the corridor. But overall this a minor quibble from an excellent stay. I would definitely stay here again.

It was a good enough room for 1 night just to sleep because it was clean and tidy, but the matras was very thin and hard. Also, there was almost no water pressure at the sink and in the shower so it took a long time to shower or wash your hands because of how little water there was coming out. The toilet seat was broken as well and was falling off all the time. We told the front desk but unfortunately they didn’t offer us anything. We think a €100 for one night was too much for all of the above.
