Sustainability: C grade for environmental impact

“The hotel's Belle Époque design distinguishes it, enhanced by thoughtful touches like complimentary afternoon tea. Its proximity to both the train station and the beach is certainly a plus, but some aspects require attention. While the staff earn high marks for service, be aware that some rooms may show signs of wear.”

okay stay near the train station

coffee machinebreakfast varietyweak air conditionerhallway noise
the hotel is near the train station.. i found this location convenient. breakfast included a variety of options, such as fruit, yogurt, cheese, and scrambled eggs. the coffee machine was a plus, as it made various coffee drinks all day.
i found the air conditioner to be very weak and difficult to control. noises from the hallway were loud, and i could hear neighbors talking in adjacent rooms. the cleanliness of the room was unacceptable to me, and i did not see blankets on the bed but rather had to use towels.

a gem close to everything

Breakfast was a delight, especial the sausage and scrambled eggs. the room was nice, a real upgrade with a comfy bed. i really did love the balcony, complete with a table and chairs. I would have spent more time there, if only the weather allow it.
i found the air conditioner wasn't very strong. noises from the hallway were very loud, it made it difficult to relax. the cleanliness of the room and bathroom weren't completely acceptable. i found that disappointing.
