Really liked this place which offered a restaurant on premises, right across the street you got the fair, lots of restaurants and live entertainment at night and the most important thing the beach right outside your door. Also, the fair is nearby

Amazing time enjoying Cote d Azur ;)

This was the perfect location to enjoy a catamaran tour of the area. Literally 1 min walk to dock! Great restaurant & fun to walk the beach due to fun vendors. The water & sand were beautiful! Would stay again in the future. :)

Rummen rena och fräscha. Tyvärr något varmt under natten.. Mycket trevlig personal. Bra frukost. Tyvärr kunde man inte köpa något snacks efter att köket stängde 21.30. Vilket drog ner det lite. Annars är vi mycket nöjda

Tietyöt veivät maun koko paikasta.

Erittäin vaikeasti löydettävissä ollut hotelli, tietöiden takia. Matkalaukut piti hinata itse pitkän matkan päästä sisään. Aamupalalla ollut tarjoilija oli vähän liian hermostunut. Ei tullut hyvä tai levollinen mieli.

What a great location! The staff was super friendly, helpful and above and beyond. We loved this place. We stayed two nights in four rooms. Most of our rooms did not have a shower. Just a wand attached to the bathtub to spray off. It was hard to wash off sand.

Kein 4Sterne Hotel

Das Hotel Excelsior entsprach nicht unseren Erwartungen. Es ist super gut gelegen (direkt am Strand) und ist sehr gut lärmisoliert. Die Zimmer sind sauber, das Personal gibt sich grosse Mühe und ist sehr freundlich. Angepriesen als 4 Sternhotel, welches es offensichtlich mal war, kann es heute diesem Anspruch in keiner Weise mehr genügen. Obwohl vieles renoviert (gestrichen) wurde, ist hier einiges im Argen: Im Treppenhaus fällt teilweise der Putz runter, im Bad fallen Fliesen ab, der Lift hat 2 Tage nicht funktioniert, mit der Kanalisation gab es Probleme und das WLAN hat schon am 3 Tag gestreikt. Dieses Hotel braucht eine Gesamtrenovation und nicht nur Patchwork! Wir können das Hotel somit nicht empfehlen, haben aber dennoch den Aufenthalt genossen!
