the staff was helpful at the reception. i found the food in the restaurant to be wonderful and the service great. the room was big as i received an upgrade (unexpected and much appreciated), with a nice shower room with a bathtub and good water pressure.

the room i got was in one of the older sections, and it felt quite cold due to poor insulation.

The location was suitable for exploring. i found it easy to access various tours as the hotel served as a frequent pick-up and drop-off point. i also appreciated the proximity to the seaside. A short walk allowed for peaceful strolls.

The room i stayed in faced the lobby. This meant i could hear a lot of noise. the windows, designed to cool the room, opened directly into this loud space. also, the hotel lacked a microwave. The front desk confirmed its absence.

the breakfast buffet was pretty standard but fine (i've had better scrambled eggs though).

The room was not great. the temperature was hard to control, and the radiator made odd noises all night. also, the shower setup was poorly designed. water splashed all over the floor because the door didn't seal properly. This meant i was constantly using the bath mat to mop up (it was very annoying).
