Decent Stay with a Few Hiccups

excellent locationamazing viewsbroken toilet seatloud noise
The hotel's location is excellent. It is close to the sea and the main promenade. The views from the 8th-floor terrace are amazing (I spent a lot of time up there).
My toilet seat was broken. I found the noise from staff and other guests quite loud. I could hear entire conversations sometimes.

Central Stay with Great Transport Links

central locationeasy transportationrooftop poolfirm pillow
The hotel is centrally located. A bus stop sits right outside, allowing easy transportation. I found restaurants located downstairs very convenient (i ate there twice). The rooftop pool was great.
The pillows provided felt too firm. I requested alternative pillows, but the reception did not have any.
