Reviews and Ratings
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were immaculately clean and comfortable, providing a quiet atmosphere for a good night's rest. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making my experience even better. However, the noise from the street outside due to the nearby bus stop was a bit disruptive at times. The location was convenient, close to my place of business and just a short distance from the beaches, offering easy access to various activities in the area.
The hotel offers clean and basic rooms at a reasonable price, although noise could be an issue. The service is top-notch, with attentive staff, although the comfort of the rooms may not be the best.
I found this hotel to be in a prime location, close to the cruise port and within walking distance of restaurants and shops. The service was exceptional, with staff even offering to carry our bags to the second floor. However, there were minor issues like the rooms still smelling like cigarettes and housekeeping entering without knocking.
