cheap pvc bath scratched wood flooring
the location met my needs because it was in the center.
i was pissed about the room. the shower was inside a cheap pvc bath and the wood flooring was scratched. they gave only one free water bottle and the tap water tasted strongly of chlorine. this felt cheap for what they charged.

a pleasant hotel stay

attentive staff superb breakfast noisy air-con tea bag
The breakfast was amazing. Eggs were cooked to order, and they had a huge selection of pastries! the staff were super attentive, everything was perfect. i also liked how close it was to everything. Getting to restaurants and ferries was a short walk.
The air conditioning in my room was super outdated. when i turned on the fan, it sounded like a jet engine. It made sleeping really difficult. also, there were only four tea bags in the room, and they wouldn't replace them without charging me. that was pretty annoying.

The air conditioning system seemed quite old. When it was on, it produced a very loud noise. It was difficult to sleep well because of the constant noise.

Mixed Feelings About This Stay

The location was acceptable, especially its proximity to the town center.
I found the lack of in-room water quite irritating. the limited bar selection was a letdown. There was no dry espumante available.
