I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms offered amazing views but were quite small, with no space to open a suitcase or use the iron. However, the location was great right on the harbor, and the dining area provided fantastic views. The service was impeccable, especially from the reception desk.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location was superb, right on the harbor with beautiful scenic views. The rooms were cozy with an excellent view of the waste baskets. The service was top-notch, especially the reception desk staff who were always ready to assist with a smile. The dining experience was delightful with great views of the waterfront. However, I wish the Wi-Fi was included in the rate as an extra cost was needed. Overall, a fantastic experience!

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms had stunning sea views and plenty of hangers for my clothes, although a lack of hanging facilities was a downside. The service was top-notch, especially at the reception desk where they happily assisted with every request. The location couldn't be better, just near the sea with easy access to all main attractions. The dining offered great views of the waterfront, but more hot food options would have been appreciated. Overall, a wonderful experience with a few minor hiccups.
