amazing viewcute staffbad odournoisy building

i found the location fantastic with its view of the port. it was near the bus stop, restaurants and shops, so i was grateful. the room was also clean and included everything i needed. staff members were cute and helped with my queries. they even made extra bookings at my request.

the room was basic. it seemed slightly outdated, though it is a budget hotel. the building's echo made it noisy, and i could hear people coming and going. the shower drain had a bad odour, but overall it served well for a short stay.
