I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. It was very close to the beach, just a short walk away. The location was perfect, as it was also very close to the city center but still quiet. The hotel facilities were clean and well-maintained. The staff was friendly and helpful, providing great service throughout my stay.
Nothing everything was great.
Clean facilities. Friendly staff. Comfortable rooms. Good breakfast
Nothing not too like.
I had a great stay at this hotel. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, offering tea, coffee, and freshly baked cookies upon arrival. They even provided maps and gave recommendations for places to visit in the city. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-appointed with modern amenities. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the city center and right in front of the beaches. It was so convenient to have restaurants and bars nearby, and I especially enjoyed the beautiful views of the sea.
Absolutely nothing to say about dislikes.
