I stayed at this hotel and found it to be a good option if you are looking for a centrally located place. The rooms were lovely with large beds and all the necessary amenities, but noise from nearby bars and ongoing road works could be a disturbance. The service was friendly and accommodating, providing good value for money. The location is very central, but the surrounding noise can be bothersome at times. The dining experience was average, with limited options and poor quality in some dishes.

The hotel offers brilliant rooms with comfy bedding but lacks air conditioning and had a leaky bathroom. The location is perfect, just a short walk from the beach, shops, and restaurants. The service is friendly and knowledgeable, though an incident with another guest was concerning. The dining options, while basic, are satisfactory, and facilities are adequate for a comfortable stay.
