A Decent Hotel with a Rooftop Gem

great locationrooftop barfriendly staffworn towelsmall roombreakfast quality

The hotel has a great location near the port. Its rooftop bar offers amazing views. The staff were friendly and helpful, speaking English well.

The towels felt old and worn. Our room was small, lacking bedside tables. I found breakfast less appealing than options in nearby brasseries.

I found the location to be a highlight. All the city attractions were close. The metro was also conveniently nearby. The rooftop bar provided amazing views.

The room was small and not properly equipped. The sink in the bathroom had a crack. Ventilation was also not good. The air conditioning was quite poor.
