This hotel has a charming rooftop area with stunning views and a nice, clean environment. The staff was very welcoming and attentive. However, be prepared for a steep hill to reach the hotel and small room sizes, which might not suit everyone. Overall, it's a decent choice if you're physically capable and can appreciate the surroundings.

Staying at the Aurora Hotel was a lovely experience overall. The rooms, while compact, were pristine and thoughtfully laid out, plus the added ocean view made it worth the stay. The service was top-notch, the staff being genuinely friendly and attentive to our needs. I appreciated the quiet location, giving us peaceful nights despite being a short walk from the vibrant promenade. However, the hill might be a challenge for some. Overall, it's great value for what you get, with a delightful breakfast to start the day.
