What guests report

View

Port-facing rooms offer stunning marina and harbor views; interior light-well rooms are quiet but dark with minimal view

Bed & mattress

Comfortable, firm, well-made beds; one report of short double bed (smaller than standard)

Bathroom & water

Spacious with powerful rainfall showers and excellent water pressure; some rooms have opaque glass doors or no doors for privacy; black tiles and dim lighting make cleanliness hard to assess

Wi-Fi

Generally reliable and free throughout hotel; one report of poor signal at bedside and intermittent drops

Breakfast

High-quality with extensive buffet and à la carte hot options; expensive at €23–26 per person; worth it if included, skip if paying separately

AC / heating

Effective cooling in summer; disabled in winter with no alternative, leaving rooms stuffy and warm

Elevator

Available

Local knowledge

Book a room facing away from the street and parking area to avoid nighttime noise from restaurants and bars

Request an internal room overlooking the light well if you prioritize quiet sleep over views

Breakfast is expensive (€23–26) — explore nearby cafés and local spots for better value and authentic options
