I had a great experience at this hotel, with a lovely location near the port and shops, making it convenient to explore the town. The rooms were comfortable, although a bit noisy if facing the street. The staff was friendly and welcoming, but the breakfast could use more variety. Overall, it was a good value for the price I paid, even with a few minor hiccups.

The hotel offers a clean and comfortable stay with a great view of the courtyard. The friendly staff made me feel welcome right from the start.

The hotel is located in a central area close to the port and shops, making it very convenient. The rooms are comfortable and come with nice amenities like a tea kettle and bottled water. However, the check-in process could be improved as our room wasn't ready on time. Overall, it's a solid choice at a reasonable price for the location and comfort offered.

I found the hotel to be in a great location, right on the port and close to the shops. The rooms, while a bit small, were very comfortable. The housekeeping service was on point, but the dining experience was not as impressive as I had hoped. Overall, it offered good value for money, especially at 94 euros a night, but there were some aspects that could use improvement.
