varied foodhelpful staffnoisy airconextra charge
the breakfast had a great variety of food options i found many choices to my liking the location was convenient for accessing the harbour markets and esplanade it was a short walk away the staff were cute and helpful they made the stay more pleasant.
my room felt a bit run down it had an older style that was not to my taste the air conditioning made quite a bit of noise it was hard to ignore. early check in came with an extra charge of fifteen euros i found this excessive given the room's condition it was not ideal.

The location worked out great. Breakfast included many options.
The room was too warm. I was told the A/C is centrally controlled. I could not adjust it. Opening the windows was not possible either. I couldn't even sleep well.

i found the breakfast excellent. the dining room was large and comfortable. (i enjoyed the variety!). the hotel's location near the market hall was very convenient. it was a short walk to many places.
room cleaning was not good . dirty dishes were not removed and coffee cups were not replaced (it was a bit disappointing). also, the hairdryer was awful. it definitely needs to be updated or replaced.
