The hotel is in a great location close to shops, beaches, and beautiful scenery, making it ideal for a quick getaway. The rooms are modern but small and have a damp smell. The service is excellent, though some improvements could be made regarding housekeeping. The dining options are good but could serve hotter dishes. Overall, a convenient choice for a weekend trip.

The hotel is conveniently located in the center of the city, close to the beaches, cafes, restaurants, and public transport, making it ideal for travelers. The rooms, although small and with no opening windows unless paying extra, were exceptionally clean and quiet, with a desk for convenience. The lack of parking was a downside, but staying up on the balcony until 3 am was a unique experience.
