The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of the city, close to everything you need, but the nearby night club may disturb light sleepers. The rooms are cozy and clean, although the bathrooms are extremely small. The welcome drink upon arrival adds a nice touch to the exceptional customer service. Dining includes local fruits, but the coffee is notably weak. The facilities are adequate for a comfortable stay, offering good value for money overall.
