decent stay in central location
helpful staff clean hotel convenient location small room limited breakfast noticeable noise
this hotel had charm, i think. it was also very clean, which i always appreciate. the staff were helpful (really friendly!). i found the location convenient for the railway, as i needed to travel between the airport and the port.
The room was small. I'm not going to lie. breakfast was minimal, with very few options to choose from. street noises were quite noticeable, and i needed to keep the window closed.
