super stay!

amazing scene modern interior helpful staff

The breakfast scene was amazing. It really set the mood for the day. the staff seemed very helpful. i was charmed by the modern interior, especially as i did not expect that judging from the surrounding area (i really liked the exterior).

i noticed a couple of minor dirty spots in the hotel, but i arrived late and was too tired to complain.

Rooms

romantic hideaway

immaculate cleanliness amazing views complete breakfast

I adored the perfect cleanliness. It was apparent throughout the hotel. the rooftop garden offered amazing views. I spent hours there. the hotel breakfast selection was complete. Every morning was a treat. i felt so welcomed.

I noticed that rooms facing the street picked up a bit of noise from passersby. It was mostly during peak hours. this was the only downside.

Breakfast featured local pastries and fresh fruit. The flavors were good. the coffee machine offered various options. Each cup began my day perfectly. the rooftop bar served light bites. Those late-night snacks were great.

The hotel is near the harbor. A short walk took me to the waterfront. many restaurants were within walking distance. This provided dining convenience. the surrounding streets were charming. Every stroll was picturesque.

strategic location clean room courtesy set small room noisy air conditioning thermostat setting

The location is very strategic. It is near a big parking place, but only a 3-minute walk to the center.. The room was very clean. I found a courtesy set and slippers.

The room was very disappointing. It was small and could not adequately accommodate the furniture. The air conditioning was noisy, varying between comfortable and cold irrespective of the thermostat setting.
