The hotel offers fully sea-view modern rooms with a bathtub, but some plugs were broken. The service was somewhat lacking due to miscommunication among staff members. The location is near the waterfront and easy access to eateries, but it can be busy. The dining experience was good for Western tastes but lacked variety.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The room had the most breathtaking fully sea-view right from the bath tub. The single King bed was incredibly comfortable, and the shower was top-notch. The only downside is the limited number of Western options in the dining area, but the fantastic seaview made up for it. The service was efficient, especially the receptionist who went out of their way to assist us. The location is so convenient, just steps away from the nearby market. The hotel's facilities were excellent, offering everything I needed for a relaxing stay.
