Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers beautiful and cozy rooms with good size fridges. However, the furniture is a bit old-fashioned. The service was very friendly and helpful, but some staff members came off as arrogant. The location is convenient, being accessible to all areas of the island, although it could be enhanced further. The dining experience was brought to my room every morning as the dining room was closed, which was a good experience overall. The facilities are good, but some areas need updating.
The hotel has some quirky old analog fixtures that give it a retro feel yet still cozy and beautiful. The rooms provide a good amount of bench space but are a bit old-fashioned with dated furniture.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms had some quirky old analog fixtures that gave a vintage feel, but the lack of power points and bench space was noticeable. The service, while later apologizing for some behavior, was not consistently friendly. The location had the potential to be fantastic if more effort was put into it, being accessible to all areas of the island with excellent connections. The dining experience, although breakfast was brought to my room every morning, left much to be desired. The facilities were adequate, but some improvements could enhance the overall stay.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with an integrated kitchen, featuring some quirky old analog fixtures that give it a vintage charm from the 60s. While the rooms have ample bench space, they can be a bit noisy at times. The location is great for business or a short break, being dead quiet at night, but there's room for improvement. The dining experience is convenient as it was brought to the room daily, making it worth paying extra for. Service was a mix of initially unfriendly but later apologetic behavior, with a touch of arrogance. The facilities are decent but could be enhanced for a better overall experience.
I had a fantastic stay at the hotel! The room had a great layout with ample power points, and it felt so sunny and airy. Everything was clean, but I loved the quirky old analog fixtures that added a touch of retro charm. The service was top-notch with very friendly and helpful staff, making my experience truly delightful. The location was excellent, easily accessible to all areas of the island and just a short walk to shops and the bus terminal. However, watch out for crooks that target tourists nearby. The dining experience was wonderful, and the freshly squeezed juice was a real treat. The facilities were fantastic, catering to all my needs with a great value for the money.
I had a delightful stay at this hotel. My room was sunny and airy, although some fixtures seemed to be from the 60s, giving it a quirky old-fashioned charm.

My stay at this hotel was simply excellent. The rooms were spacious and had an integrated kitchen, which was a great plus. The fridge was of a good size, making it very convenient for storing snacks and drinks. However, the service had a bit of a hiccup with a later apology for the behavior, but overall, it was very friendly and helpful. The location was also fantastic, dead quiet at night, yet easy to walk to shops and the bus terminal. On the downside, dining room closure meant breakfast was brought to my room daily, which wasn't ideal. However, the European dishes provided were really good, making up for the inconvenience.
The hotel has some old-fashioned charm with quirky analog fixtures that give a touch of nostalgia, but some aspects feel outdated. The space in the rooms was limited due to old furniture, yet there was no lack of cleanliness in the accommodations. The service had its ups and downs, with later apologies for certain incidents. The location offers a quiet atmosphere at night and has potential for enhancement. The dining experience provided exceptional Japanese dishes but encountered some limitations related to service times. Despite these aspects, the facilities were commendable, with room for modernization.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were sunny and airy, although a bit noisy at times. The service was very friendly and helpful, and the location was convenient for shops and the bus terminal. The dining experience was satisfactory, and the facilities met my expectations.
The hotel rooms were incredibly spacious and beautifully designed, making my stay sunny and airy. However, the service was a bit arrogant, overshadowed by the friendly and helpful staff. The location is excellent, accessible to all areas of the island, although somewhat prone to scams by taxi services. The dining experience was incredible, but there was an issue with the breakfast service. The facilities offered were truly worth paying extra for.
