I noted the hotel's commitment to eco-friendly practices, including solar panel water heating, plus monthly events to engage with the local culture.

central locationfresh breakfastquick luggage storage
The location is central.. a short walk from shops and restaurants. Breakfast included a tasty egg dish made fresh. The staff quickly stored our luggage upon our early arrival.
The room's lighting was somewhat dim due to the courtyard-facing window.

Solid city center spot

central locationtasty fooddaily service
The hotel location was a big plus. I found it easy to walk to many sites. The hotel restaurant offered tasty food, I especially liked the seafood options. The room included daily cleaning service plus they provided new towels and toiletries each day.
The noise from street activity can be loud late into the night.
