solid stay near the lido

I found the location very convenient. It was close to the lido swimming area. the kitchenette in my room was useful for preparing simple meals. the staff were helpful, especially with directions and local information.

poor soundproofingdisruptive noise
I found the soundproofing to be inadequate. i could clearly hear conversations and noise from the hallway. a persistent sound of glass being emptied into a container was disruptive. the hotel might consider investing in better sound insulation for a more restful stay. This constant noise was bothersome, particularly during sleeping hours.

I appreciated the hotel's convenient location near bus stops, shops, and restaurants. Breakfast offered a good variety of choices and the staff was great. The room was clean throughout my stay which was great. The fifth-floor ocean view provided a lovely backdrop.
The hotel could use some minor updates to modernize the rooms.
