The location was great. It offered easy access to many sights and attractions.
The hotel occupied the second story and had no elevator. This made handling luggage quite a pain. The stairs were difficult to navigate. IT was frustrating.

Excellent City Center Location

The location was superb, I could easily walk to the beach and many shops. Public transport was very accessible. Trams ran just outside the hotel. I found it convenient to reach various parts of the city without any hassle.
The room was smaller than I expected, it barely fit my luggage and me. The shower was also quite tiny. I found it difficult to move around comfortably.

I did not eat at the hotel, therefore I cannot rate the dining facilities, and I explored local restaurants. There were many options available nearby, which allowed me to sample various cuisines, it was good. the area boasts numerous choices.
Rooms

The room included a comfortable bed, however it could have used more storage. There was no air conditioning, which might be a problem during hotter months, I didn't mind it but some might. The bathroom had the basic amenities.

The hotel is in a very central location, the beach is very close by. Trams run right outside, this makes getting around very easy. I could easily reach the old town and other attractions on foot.
