I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms offer fantastic views over the harbor and are equipped with a large comfy bed and ample space for all your clothes. The service was top-notch, with the staff always pleased to help and providing excellent customer service. The location is prime, right in front of bus stop 12 for tours and near shops and restaurants. The dining experience was excellent, with wonderfully prepared veggies and diverse options for different tastes. The facilities were great, offering everything I needed for a comfortable stay.

The hotel offers a stunning view over the harbor from the rooms, but some rooms face less ideal buildings. The walk-in shower adds a luxurious touch to the bathroom. The service is top-notch, especially at the reception desk. The location is perfect for exploring the central area and seaside, although slightly outside the hustle of the city center. The dining options cater to different tastes with excellently prepared veggies. The facilities are well-maintained and provide a comfortable stay.
