The location proved convenient. It was near the harbor and bus station. The owner was friendly, displaying genuine involvement in our experience. I particularly appreciated the cleanliness and orderliness maintained throughout my stay. The breakfast featured a nice array of well-prepared options.
I observed that soundproofing wasn't the strongest. Street noise reached my room.

Quirky Charm and Delicious Food

central locationdelicious breakfastperfectly cooked steakroom upgrade
The location was central. The breakfast was delicious (especially the cooked breakfast!). I had dinner in the restaurant one evening. The steak was cooked to perfection. I was also offered a room upgrade, a welcome surprise.
The room decor could use a bit of updating. Some areas looked a little tired.
Facilities

The hotel offers a restaurant with dinner service and a cute bar area. There is no elevator, and access to the upper floors is via a narrow and steep staircase. The hotel provides complimentary Wi-Fi access for all guests.
