Stayed here for 10nights from 29th April. Location cannot be beaten but bear in mind,you will need to negotiate approx.40 steps or steep slopes to access the hotel in the evenings. We stayed on a b+b basis as so many excellent, good value restaurants to try practically on the doorstep. We found the breakfasts quite adequate,not as much choice as... More

The furniture is tired and dated, the room furniture is basic and some items are falling apart. The rooms are kept generally reasonably clean as are the... More

Just back from a lovely break at sol e mar. The location is brilliant very close to some fab bars and restaurants. Hotel was dated but very clean and rooms big and comfortable. Breakfast is good and the adjacent bar and lounge area is very comfortable, we most certainly would return
