the breakfast selection was amazing with lots of choices. the rooms were very clean (i really liked the decor!). the hotel's location was super convenient, close to everything.

the air conditioning didn't seem to cool the room down enough. the pool area felt a little crowded at times. the gym equipment looked somewhat outdated (it needs some updating!).

reliable stay close to the station

great location clean hotel fresh pastries

the hotel is very close to the train station. the staff were kind, and the hotel was very clean. we loved the breakfast.. especially the fresh pastries. i found a bakery nearby with gluten-free options for afternoon treats.

i noticed the tea, coffee, and milk weren't automatically restocked in the room. we had to ask reception to replenish them. This was a minor inconvenience. there also seemed to be limited availability of easily accessible menus for the hotel restaurant.

Location

The hotel is a short walk to the station with a direct line to the airport. It is also within walking distance to downtown, providing easy access to many attractions. The walk to the center is across the river.

Facilities

8/10

The hotel has a pool and spa area, however, the spa area seemed a bit hidden and not clearly marked. The pool has a ramp, but maneuvering space is limited due to the proximity of the loungers and it's not the sunniest spot.

The location is great. I could easily walk to the city center. Breakfast was fantastic. I recommend having breakfast at the hotel. The staff was friendly. The room was clean and had everything I needed.

The pool was shallow and a bit chilly. The harbor view from my room overlooked an industrial boatyard. There was heavy traffic. The neighborhood around the hotel didn't offer much, so I used taxis to reach the beach and Centro Historico.
