The location was convenient. The staff was friendly and helpful with directions.

The room was small. Maneuvering around was difficult. The bathroom had a persistent musty smell, it was quite unpleasant. THE noise from the street at night made it hard to sleep, even with the windows closed.

harbor proximitybig beachpublic transporttourist ticket

The location is close to the harbor and seaside. A very big beach is nearby. Public transport is also quite near. I recommend the 24h ticket for tourists. I could reach any attraction by public transport fast.

The decor was poor! and the room although clean, was not comfortable at all.
