The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Cozy and Comfortable

I loved the spacious room with modern amenities and efficient air conditioning. The daily maid service kept everything clean, and I really appreciated the complimentary coffee and tea facilities, which made my mornings extra special. It truly felt like a home away from home.

Adequate Breakfast Options

While the breakfast was basic, I enjoyed the freshly cooked eggs each morning, which were paired nicely with toast and fruit. The availability of cereal and fruits like pineapples and watermelons added a refreshing touch to my breakfast experience.

Great for Active Travelers

I found the option to rent bicycles nearby a huge plus. It made exploring the area fun and allowed me to stay active while enjoying the beautiful surroundings. There were also plenty of local markets and eateries within a short distance to keep my days engaging.

Good Shower Pressure

I was pleasantly surprised by the good water pressure in the shower. It was such a relief to have consistent hot water, especially after a long day of exploring. The bathroom was functional, although a bit dated, it still served its purpose well.

The hotel offers clean and nicely renovated rooms at a good price, making it a decent choice for budget travelers. However, the breakfast options are quite limited, and the pool can get noisy with staff's teenagers at night. Additionally, while the location is close to bars and restaurants, it's a bit far from the beach, requiring a 20-minute walk.

The hotel offers a clean and nicely renovated room with good amenities and daily maid service. While the pricing is commendable and its proximity to bars and restaurants is a plus, the dining experience left much to be desired, with a limited breakfast selection and some noise from the pool area at night. Overall, it’s decent for the value, especially for those wanting to be close to the local nightlife, but it could use some improvements.
