I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location couldn't have been better, being really close to the city center and super close to the new aquarium. The rooms were cozy and had a kitchen, even with a microwave provided. The air conditioning was a bonus, though it was a bit odd being covered with curtains. The only downside was that the neighboring hotels were quite pricey, but the value for money here was excellent.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is perfect, close to shops and not far from the city center. The rooms are cozy and come with air-conditioning, plus there's a kitchen inside with everything you need. The service was excellent, especially with the laundry and tour assistance. The only downside was the lack of fresh salad options in the dining experience.
