Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The location was fantastic near the Dutch cemetery, and we could easily access most sights from here. The air-conditioned restaurant on one side was a great convenience. The rooms were comfortable, but having a generator outside our window was a bit noisy. The service was excellent, offering car hire and laundry service. The dining experience with meaty pizza was delicious, but the facilities could use a bit of improvement.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but the generator outside our window was a bit noisy. The service was good overall, with various amenities available, yet the value for money could have been better. The location was convenient, with easy access to the restaurant and markets, but it was not the most picturesque spot. The dining options were limited but satisfying, especially if you enjoy pasta. The facilities were decent, but there were minor issues with some of them.
I couldn't have asked for a better location at this hotel—it's surrounded by amazing restaurants, close to the beach, and within walking distance of many tourist spots. The room had the unique feature of a generator outside our window, but it was clean and comfortable overall. The service offered was exceptional, making my stay hassle-free. Dining options were limited, and the facilities were satisfactory but not luxurious. The price was reasonable considering the value received.
