“The hotel's location, a short walk from the marine and dining, is a genuine advantage. Rooms prioritize simplicity and budget-consciousness, with some trade-offs like compact bathrooms and minimal amenities. Staff are accommodating, though experiences may vary, making it a practical base for exploring the area.”

adequate but with drawbacks

central locationsmall roomlimited cleanliness

the location was central and convenient, close to transport links.

The room felt quite small, and it was difficult to keep both suitcases open at the same time because space was limited. i also wasn't very satisfied with the cleanliness. It could have been better. there was also noise at night because the hotel is close to the street.
