The staff was very friendly and helpful. The whole place was very clean. I appreciated that. The terrace was amazing. It offered a great view. The bakery downstairs provided a nice breakfast option.

The building entry on the ground level floor seemed sketchy. The stairs felt broken down. The towels were ok, but larger and fluffier towels would improve the room. I hope they consider it.

The hotel has a central location that places you right in the heart of everything. Stepping outside means immediate access to the city center. proximity to the opera house is a significant advantage. It stands right next to the hotel for easy access.

The hotel provides complimentary beach essentials, including towels. This adds convenience for beach visits. a communal terrace offers fine sea views. It allows guests to relax while watching the sea. the terrace overlooks the sea. That's an added perk.
