The garage is very useful, it includes a lift, and it is good to have because it is very difficult to find parking outside.

The room was serviced daily. Everything was super clean! I had a great walk in shower. No shower over the bath! The staff were friendly, too.

The room was a bit small. It overlooked a side street, so there was constant noise from mopeds zooming up and down. The noise started early and continued until late. It spoiled the relaxation I hoped for.

the hotel's central location was acceptable, close to the balcon and beaches.

The room assigned to me was quite small. It lacked adequate space for luggage and movement. there was only one drawer available, and the limited number of hangers in the closet complicated clothing storage. i found this insufficient for a multi-night stay.
