I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were large and comfortable, but having to pay extra for powdered coffee and eggs was a downside. The service felt bureaucratic and lacking charm, with slow responses and a sense of disinterest. On the bright side, the location was excellent, offering a beautiful view, and the dining experience, especially with the harbor view, was delightful.

The hotel was not ideal in terms of room amenities as they were very outdated, the bubble bath was not functional, curtains were hard to open, air conditioning barely worked, limited plugs for charging devices, and breakfast was overpriced at 50 euros daily for basic items like powdered coffee and eggs. However, the one-level layout was more comfortable, although noise from the kitchen could be bothersome at times, and it tended to be a bit chilly.

The hotel offers stunning rooms with a mezzanine level and a private balcony overlooking the harbor, yet some rooms lack ventilation. The high-ceiling rooms provide ample storage space for your belongings. The service was accommodating, even assisting with minor requests.

I was quite impressed by the unique room layout with a mezzanine level, but they definitely need some refurbishments to improve the overall feel of the suite. The service was a mix of minimally helpful and extremely pleasant and helpful experiences. The location was outstanding, offering beautiful views and convenience. The dining experience overlooking the water was first-class, although a bit lacking in some local sweets.
