Acceptable, But Room for Improvement

convenient accessbitter coffeetiny bathroom
The hotel location worked for me, providing convenient access to nearby facilities.
I found the breakfast subpar. The coffee tasted bitter, and the hot chocolate was undrinkable. The room looked a bit dated, this affected the quality of my stay. The bathroom was also tiny, and several fixtures seemed loose.

the staff were very polite and maintained the place well. it is a short walk to the railway station and the beach. i found the location very convenient and accessible for both transportation and leisure activities. the hotel provided easy access to key areas.
my room faced the road and the windows directly overlooked a busy road. there were no blinds or net curtains to provide privacy. i felt uncomfortable keeping the curtains open because i could be seen from the street.

The staff was helpful and friendly (especially Roberto!). My room was clean and quite spacious. The hotel's location allowed a short walk to major attractions. i appreciated the free parking, as it is a real bonus. I enjoyed the buffet breakfast and the variety of options.
The walls were quite thin, so I could hear the TV in the next room, especially early in the morning.

I must say i was slightly underwhelmed by a few things. the room decor felt rather dated. It looked like a time capsule from a bygone era. also, the breakfast service seemed a bit disorganised. It was difficult to get the attention of staff, and some items were frequently missing. a little attention to detail could really elevate the experience. the tv remote was missing, i had to ask for one at reception
