"We had a wonderful stay at the Seabird Hotel and would definitely come back. The hotel is incredibly kid-friendly, making it a great choice for families. Everything was clean and well maintained, and the staff was welcoming and accommodating throughout our stay. The food was excellent, with plenty of delicious options for both adults and kids. One of the biggest highlights is the location—it’s just steps from the beach and within easy walking distance of the train station, as well as many great restaurants and shops.
