adequate, but noisy

perfect locationinternal facing roomrooftop bar noise
the location was perfect.
My room faced an internal part of the building, i noticed there was virtually no natural light. also, the noise from the rooftop bar was bothersome. the loud music continued late into the night. This made it difficult to sleep.

Central Location with Great Breakfast

central locationclean roomaccommodating staff
The hotel's central location made exploring easy, yet it was still quiet. The staff were accommodating, and the room was very clean. I especially enjoyed breakfast outside each morning. It was a relaxing start to the day (the coffee was especially good).
The room was a bit small. There was not a proper wardrobe, just a minimal open rack.
Dining

Breakfast included many options and seemed high quality. The fresh bread available was lovely, and there was good coffee too. Breakfast outside started my day nicely.
Facilities

The hotel provides free airport taxi service. The hotel is close to a car park at the seashore at a distance of two hundred meters. The hotel has a rooftop bar with views of the city.
Rooms

The room included amenities in the bathroom. Fresh towels were provided daily (i found that especially useful). The bed and pillows are really comfortable for getting a good sleep.
