I had a decent stay at this hotel. The location is great, being close to the airport bus stop, city center, and various shops. The rooms were clean, but I found them a bit small and the noise from the main road was a drawback. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my visit. The breakfast was affordable, but it could have offered more variety.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel! The rooms are spacious and nicely decorated, and I really appreciated the quiet atmosphere despite being on a busy road. The location is fantastic, with easy access to the city center and the port. The only downside was being next to the elevator, which could be a bit noisy at times. Overall, it offers great value for money and a comfortable experience.

The hotel is conveniently located close to the port and bus station, making it easy to get around. The rooms are clean and comfortable, but I found them to be a bit noisy due to street traffic. The staff was friendly and very helpful, which added a nice personal touch to my stay. While the breakfast offered was decent, I would have liked a few more options. Overall, it's a good value for a short stay, particularly if you're catching an early ferry or flight.
