Reviews and Ratings
I recently stayed at this hotel and overall had a great experience. The location was superb, right in the heart of the town with easy access to nice restaurants. The rooms were cozy and clean, and the service was exceptional. However, the dining options were somewhat limited, and the price could have been more budget-friendly.
The hotel offers a lovely stay with a powerful hot shower, a small tropical patio next to the lobby, and a large ensuite bathroom. The warm water was limited, but the overall experience was comfortable. The price felt fair for what was provided.
The hotel had lovely rooms in a small tropical patio next to the lobby with a huge bathroom, good facilities, and comfortable beds. The service at check-out was excellent. The location was near some very populated bars and alone at night as a female. The dining experience included pasta. The facilities were great.

This hotel is a gem in the heart of the town, surrounded by nice restaurants and a safe area. The rooms are spacious and modern, with a lovely double bed and a large ensuite bathroom. The friendly service makes you feel at home, offering convenient car hire and laundry services. The dining experience may require more variety, yet the tasty smoked salmon bagels stand out. The facilities cater to your needs, especially the paid shuttle service which adds value to your stay.
