The hotel is some distance from Volos and as I was visiting in March I was not there for the beach, so proximity to the sea was not a factor for me. The concierge was very helpful (driving with me to the only open source of food nearby, for example!) but had limited English. I was the only guest at the time. Room was clean and comfortable, breakfast and wi-fi provided. For €38 it was reasonable value but a little out of the way. A pleasant bonus for me was that the hotel was very close to the Ancient city of Demetrias.
