At a glance

There is no beach within an hour on foot, so plan on a car, taxi or bus for the coast.

You have a bus stop about 2 minutes away and a supermarket about 8 minutes away, so it works without a car.

There are 3 bars or clubs within 150 m, so expect some evening noise; light sleepers may want a room at the back.

How we worked this out

These figures are computed, not measured on foot. Walking times use the mapped streets and paths at about 4.8 km/h, with steps counted slower. Driving times use typical road speeds plus time for junctions and parking, so allow extra at busy times. The slope compares the height of the hotel with the nearest beach. "Steep" means an average of 8% or more. Noise counts mapped bars, pubs and nightclubs in a straight line.
