The hotel exudes a local charm and thoughtful design for guests, though it was a bit warm at night. The wooden floors added to the authentic feel, but being above the main entrance had its drawbacks.

Rooms

The rooms, with their wooden floors, felt locally authentic and well thought through for guests, but it was very hot at night. Being above the main entrance could be a bit noisy.

The service was a mix of friendly and intimidating. While some staff members were very pleasant and kind, others were unfriendly to a point of being intimidating. Overall, the service was fine but somewhat inconsistent.

Location

The hotel’s location was fantastic, right in the heart of the city near the harbor, which was a big plus. However, there were occasional disturbances as the next-door room used their bathroom, and this could be bothersome.
