Central Stay Near the Port

great location amazing view

location proved unbeatable for getting around, the proximity to restaurants and shops was a real bonus. my room faced the port, the view was consistently amazing. the staff spoke very good english, they were helpful with directions.

the breakfast selection was basic. there were very few warm options available, not ideal for longer stays. the lift did not reach the ground floor, this made carrying luggage up the first set of stairs difficult.

Rooms

8/10

the room provides a decent size. the insulation worked well to block street noise. the shower includes several settings. there are basic toiletries provided, a hair dryer is also available in the room to use.

central location helpful staff juice machine soundproof windows

The location is central, right at the harbor (a real advantage). The staff was helpful and accommodating. The breakfast offered fresh pastries and an excellent juice machine for making orange juice. The soundproof windows and air-conditioning ensured a quiet, comfortable room.

I found the room a little smaller than expected.

Breakfast included fresh pastries. It also featured a self-service orange juice machine. Plant-based milk options and granola were available too. The breakfast service ensured that items were replenished promptly, an attentive detail.

mixed feelings about the stay

wet dog central cooling system

the staff was helpful, they went the extra mile.

the towels in the room smelled like wet dog, that was not nice. also, i couldn't adjust the air conditioning because it was a central cooling system. this was very inconvenient.
