My stay at the hotel was simply amazing! The rooms were clean, comfortable, and beautifully designed, providing a spa bath and ample seating. The rooftop terrace offered stunning views, and the inclusion of a fridge was a convenient touch. The big beds were so cozy, and the complimentary dressing gowns and slippers made me feel like royalty. However, the room arrangement was only average. The hotel managed to blend luxury and practicality with features like a minibar, a writing desk, a cozy sofa set, and even a hairdryer and room telephone.

6.0/10

The hotel's location was top-notch, near the waterfront park and just a few blocks from both the harbor and town square. The rooms were not the cleanest, and my first experience with a room above the swimming pool area with constant open doors was old and uncomfortable. However, after moving to another room in the cellar near the kitchen and storage room, which had no windows, the experience was not nice. The service was a mix, with one staff member appearing very stressed and not at all service-minded, while others were friendly and warm. The dining experience was a hit or miss, with some good early meals but overall something I wanted to get over quickly. Despite the drawbacks, the fantastic location made it all worth it.
