Spacious and Comfortable Rooms

The room I stayed in was quite spacious and well-furnished, with warm lighting and a cozy ambiance. The twin beds were comfortable, ensuring restful nights. Even though the room could benefit from more illumination, it was overall a pleasant space to retreat to.

Functional and Clean Bathrooms

I found the bathroom quite spacious, which was a relief during my stay. It had ample natural lighting, and while the toiletries weren't branded, their quality was good enough for my needs. It was well-kept and added to the overall positive experience I had at the hotel.

The hotel is situated in a prime location just steps away from the harbor and the Chinese fishing nets. My room was spacious but faced a construction site, which was a bit distracting. While the staff were always helpful and went above and beyond, the service felt a little slow at times, especially for larger groups. Overall, it was a decent stay, but not without its quirks.
