I found the location quite convenient for accessing transportation. It was very close to the train station. The staff were also very friendly and helpful throughout my stay. I appreciated the free coffee and water available in the lobby.
The room showed some signs of age. The furniture was old and worn. I also found the walls to be quite thin. I could hear noise from other guests easily. The breakfast selection was fairly basic. I wanted more variety.

the location provided easy access to both the train station and the beach, it was a short walk. our room featured a charming balcony showcasing city vistas. the room offered generous space for our family. the staff welcomed us warmly and provided really good service.
the standard room felt a little small, this made movement somewhat restricted. the shower lacked a curtain so water went all over the tiny bathroom. i hope they will renovate soon.
