Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The room was spacious with a king-size bed, but the noise isolation could be better as I heard street noises. The location was not ideal, being far from the seaside and lacking activities, but it's okay for a short stop. The service was exceptional, especially with my baby, and the staff's English and local knowledge were top-notch. Dining options were decent with the ability to arrange special requests. Facilities were good, though nothing extraordinary.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but there was a noticeable smell of cigarette smoke in some areas. The staff went out of their way to accommodate my requests for my baby, which was greatly appreciated. However, the location was far from the sea side and not ideal for exploring the city. The dining options could be improved, as some menu items were missing. Overall, it was a decent stay with both positives and negatives.
