"Loved this hotel, however cleanliness in the bathroom was a little bit of an issue. Found a lot of hair on walls floors and sink on arrival. Apart from that, location good, room service great, comfortable bed. Will stay again but will check cleanliness and report back next time if needed."

Second stay at this hotel.
"This was the second time I have stayed at this hotel. The hotel is pet friendly, which was why I booked it. I did feel that the surcharge of £30 was a bit high, but then you do get a comprehensive goody bag for your pet. The reception staff were fantastic once again, providing a silky smooth check ..."

Nice enough room, everything else is terrible.
"There was no checkin process, info, guidance etc. Pretty much have to figure everything out yourself, including where the front door is. Gotta download a janky app to unlock the doors and then you have to specifically ask for the wifi details before they’re provided. The host is available until 3pm, ..."

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

The Camelia Hotel restaurant was very cozy and tasty. There is an italian restaurante called Eatalia. Family business, small, very tasty. Also the upscale Roslin restaurant was very good; Pricy, but excelent.

One thing I forgot to mention, which is a definite positive, when we woke on the Sunday morning and opened the blinds, we were welcomed with blue sky and sunshine and the most wonderful view of the sea!
