The location is central I found it satisfactory for accessing local amenities.

The room I booked was not the one I received. I was given a smaller room. This change impacted my stay negatively. The hotel did not offer a resolution.

central locationcliff viewsold buildinglimited reception

The location is very central. Restaurants surround it and it is quite close to the bus station. Caldera cliff views are a short walk away. Amazing views are easy to find.

The building seems a bit old. There is no reception operating at all times. These factors were noticeable.
