The location is great—close to the beach, museums, public transport, and the train station. The AC worked well, the bed was comfortable, and the staff was genuinely kind and helpful. They even provide beach towels, which is a nice touch (though they could use replacing).
That said, the hotel needs a facelift. Our first room smelled strongly of mold; the second was better, but still not great. The carpets hadn’t been well cleaned, we saw bugs, and the sink water had a sewage smell. Bathrooms were extremely cramped. With some updates, this could be a much better stay
