The hotel boasts a fantastic location in the heart of the city, offering fabulous views from rooms with a big balcony. However, privacy can be a concern due to visibility into the rooms from neighboring apartments. The service is notable for its helpful receptionist but inconsistently cleaned rooms. Dining options fall short compared to other 4-star hotels, though the central location compensates for any culinary shortcomings.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the location was fantastic, close to key attractions and the harbor, and the rooms featured a large balcony, the room setup was not ideal for three people, lacking basic amenities like an iron and kettle. The service was a mix of friendly interactions and unpleasant incidents like unauthorized charges. The dining options were limited, but the breakfast was satisfying. Overall, the value for the price paid was reasonable considering the proximity to major landmarks and the variety of available services.

The hotel offers basic rooms that have everything you need for a short stay at a good price, but luck plays a role in room quality. The cleaning, although daily, feels superficial, and some rooms are not up to standard. The service was professional and accommodating, assisting with various needs throughout the stay, even after expressing dissatisfaction. The location is decent but lacks picturesque views, although it's close to bustling areas with plenty of dining options. Dining can be overpriced for the quality offered, and replenishment during service may be lacking. On the positive side, there are plenty of dining choices at reasonable prices. Overall, the hotel falls short of its four-star status, with service being the standout positive feature.
