Reviews and Ratings
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, with clean and comfortable rooms and welcoming staff. However, the shared bathroom down the hall was a bit inconvenient. The location was convenient for exploring the city but lacked some vibrant local atmosphere. The service was friendly and efficient, making me feel well taken care of. The dining experience offered tasty Italian products but was a bit pricy for what was provided.
The hotel is ideally located near the beach and provides a convenient base for exploring the area. The rooms are basic but clean, and the service is welcoming. The price is reasonable considering the location, but the lack of amenities may impact the overall value for money.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was basic but clean and had everything I needed. The staff were kind and welcoming. Although the shared bathroom was down the hall, it was kept tidy. The location is excellent, close to public transportation. However, the lack of private bathrooms might not be for everyone. The price was very affordable for the city center.
