A Return Visit Delight

central locationhelpful stafflobster decorationsmall room
The location was indeed central. A short walk got me to the main square. The staff are helpful. They also arranged taxis quickly. The room was spotlessly clean. I liked the lobster decorations.
The room was small for the price. It was a basic four star. Hot water experienced an issue at one point.

fair stay at the accommodation

large showershowernicely decorated roomroomfriendly staffdated interiorworn furnituremismatched curtains
the shower was large i found the room nicely decorated it felt comfortable. the staff was friendly dario gave me a different room as i did not like the first one. he offered help with storing my rental bikes this was kind. the location was great providing easy access to nearby attractions.
the room seemed a little dated to me it seemed like a cheap attempt at remodeling. the furniture looked worn i noticed lamps and curtains that seemed mismatched. i think the hotel could benefit from updating some of the interior decor.
