Reception

Please note that the physical reception is mostly closed at the low season or when occupancy in the hotel is low. Digital reception by Whatsapp or e-mail is open 24/7.

For check-in when the reception will be closed, we will send you check-in instructions with a PIN code to be able to check in. We will provide you with this information a day before or on the day of your arrival. Kindly keep an eye on your inbox or Whatsapp if needed.
