The hotel offers comfortable rooms with great facilities, but the bunk beds instead of double beds and a private bathroom were a downside. The service was exceptional and accommodating. The location, though near a bus stop for town connections, was considered quiet and at a walking distance from the city center. The dining options did not include meals, but there was a seafood selection. Overall, a good value for money stay.
