Hospitality was phenomenal, we were thinking of taxi from hotel to Port, but instead, one of the hotel staff carried our luggage and escorted us by foot to the port, saving us time and money. This is above and beyond any expectation, and it shows kindness of this place.

The hotel staff were very kind and helpful. One staff member even walked with me to find a restaurant with vegan options. I really appreciated their hospitality. The breakfast was plentiful and very delicious. The cook even stopped by my table to make sure everything was ok with the food I was really glad for the salad and fresh fruit. My room was very clean. However, because the hotel is located right in the middle of a very active tourist area with many restaurants, bars and cafes, it was very loud at night. I could hear the music from outside on the street until 2am. I could smell cigarette smoke maybe from the first floor or maybe from the exhaust system. I could not sleep. I covered my nose with the sheet to block the smoke. I wish I had some ear plugs. If you don’t mind the smell of cigarette smoke, bring some ear plugs to block the street noise and this would be a good choice for a hotel.
