There was one minor aspect that could be improved upon.

The hotel is conveniently located near the bus stop, supermarket, and beach, making it easy to explore the city and enjoy the coastal views. It is also close to various shopping centers, allowing guests to indulge in some retail therapy. The rooms are cozy and well-designed, with comfortable beds and a modern ambiance. The staff is friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with any needs. Guests can enjoy a delicious breakfast and take in the view from the lovely roof terrace.

United Kingdom, February 2023

Spent Christmas here and it was fantastic! The breakfast was delicious with an amazing variety of foods offered. The room was impeccably clean and the location was great, close to main attractions and transportation. The staff were polite and helpful, always greeting us with a smile and providing excellent service. Plus, the complimentary Christmas dinner was an unexpected and enjoyable surprise!

The noise level from the street outside was a bit loud at times, but nothing that affected our sleep. The gym facilities were a bit outdated and could use some improvements, but it did the job for a quick workout.
