Pros

Luggage storage service provided

Conference facilities include a large amphitheater

Multiple room categories suitable for families, including connecting rooms

Cons

“The location proves ideal for those with a car, offering free parking and manageable access to both the city center and beach, although repeat trips might require some planning. I noted the friendly staff and views, especially from the rooftop, which suggest untapped potential with some investment. While some aspects show their age, the refurbished bathrooms stand out, making it a balanced choice for budget-conscious travelers.”

loud corridorsrusty water
The corridors echoed terribly, and the doors seemed determined not to block any noise at all. i think the water in the pipes had a thing for rust. It made occasional appearances. the bed wasn't exactly a cloud, and the shower, well, it had a secret love affair with the bathroom floor. it leaked constantly. and as a business traveler, i was annoyed i couldn't borrow an iron.

The reception staff showed kindness. They explained all the facilities well. I found the breakfast buffet inclusive and generous. The top floor dining room had a great view of the bridge, it was quite magical.
The location felt a bit far from the tourist areas. I wished it was closer. The walk to the old town went along a busy road. The terrace bar seemed unstaffed with limited options.
