This hotel offers a beautiful view of the harbor, and I enjoyed the multiple balconies that came with our room. The staff was friendly and keen to help, but the language barrier was somewhat challenging for me. While the dining options were decent, they could definitely use a little more variety. Overall, it's a great value for money given the location and the comfort of the stay.
