Pros:

Camera curata, paturi mari, confortabile, vedere spre mare, seif, apa fierbinte și cu presiune la duș, duș mare, toaleta cu bideu

Cons:

Micul dejun putea fi mai diversificat.
Cafeaua de la aparat e foarte slabă.
Locația este foarte bună, aproape de principalele zone de interes, dar nu recomand pentru persoanele cu probleme de mișcare din cauza străzilor abrupte și a lipsei trotuarelor.
