I couldn't resist the shopping opportunities surrounding the hotel, but it was a bit distracting on the balcony as it faced the street. The rooms were comfortable and quiet, making our stay really enjoyable despite the absence of double beds, only large single beds put together.

The hotel is a mixed bag with small, basic rooms that are kept clean, but lack some essentials. The service is acceptable with minor issues in readiness and attitude. On the bright side, the location is excellent for exploring the town and enjoying nearby amenities like restaurants and bars. The dining experience is generally good with a few hiccups. Despite its flaws, the hotel offers decent value for money.
