“For a modest price, this hotel seems to deliver a warm, unpretentious experience, particularly appealing to those prioritizing service and a convenient location a short walk from the harbor. Though the building might show its age, the friendly staff and satisfying meals appear to be highlights, suggesting a focus on hospitality over pure aesthetics. In my opinion, it's a practical choice for budget-conscious travelers seeking a welcoming base to explore the area.”

I appreciated the two pillow options provided in my room. One was thick, and the other was thin. the thinner pillow suited me perfectly. the bathtub was very comfortable. the towel rail's location was ideal, and there was sufficient space for personal items near the tub.
I noticed a damp odor throughout the building. the swimming pool was closed . This could be difficult for some guests.

The location had bus stops nearby making it easy to get to town.
The hotel seemed quite dated. I think it needs some serious work. The bathroom paint was peeling AND the shower curtain showed signs of mold. The corridors had a musty smell I didn't like.
