The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Dinners

During my stay, I dined in-house a couple of nights and found the food to be reasonably priced. While the menu was not extensive, everything we tried was very tasty. Breakfast was included, and although it could use a few more fresh options, I enjoyed the variety offered. The rooftop restaurant had an lovely view that made every meal special.

Cozy Room with a View

My room had a lovely balcony with seating that overlooked the waterfront area. It provided a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the serene views. Although the room was a bit small, it was comfortable and had all the essential features for a few days' stay, making it a great retreat after exploring the city.

Functional and Clean

The bathroom in my room was clean and functional. I appreciated the hot water and adequate space for my toiletries. The shower worked well, and I didn't encounter any issues during my stay. For a hotel of this size, having a properly maintained bathroom made for a pleasant experience.

Enjoyable Breakfast Experience

The breakfast area had a great selection of food and amazing views. I particularly enjoyed the orange juice squeezer, which allowed me to enjoy fresh juice each morning. It was a nice way to start the day, although I think the setup could be improved with a bit more variety in fresh food options.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On the positive side, the room had a fabulous balcony with views of the sea and Venetian fort, and the location was great for accessing the port and bus stops. However, the room itself was small, dull, and uncomfortable, with a terrible bathroom. The service was kind but lacking some information, and the dining options were good but not outstanding. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.

The hotel room with a sea view, though spacious, had a smell issue like dirty socks and sewage gas, but it was clean and well-equipped. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, offering luggage storage and dining recommendations. The location was excellent for quick access to the sea-side avenue and local attractions, despite overlooking a busy roadway. The dining experience was okay with a limited choice but included in the rate. Overall, a mixed experience with highlights in cleanliness and friendliness, though some room odor issues.

The hotel room was a bit small for our liking, so we would opt for a larger one next time. Despite being described as 'hot,' the room had all the necessary amenities. It was functional and clean, featuring a small balcony overlooking the harbor, but lacked character.
