Overall, we had a good stay. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and we really appreciated their flexibility with o
Pros:

Everything was good. The staff was very polite, helpful, and accommodating. They helped us with an early check-in and also allowed us to leave our luggage after check-out, which was very convenient.

Cons:

Everything was generally good. The only thing that was a little disappointing was the rust in the bathroom. For a hotel that costs around $300 per night, I expected the bathroom to be in better condition.

La struttura in generale è OK, pulito e ordinato il che è fondamentale. Molto discutibile la dimensione del letto
Pros:

Sicuramente la posizione è ottima anche se penalizzata un po’ dal tratto in salita con una notevole pendenza da percorrere per raggiungerla, comunque rimane un’ottima posizione per raggiungere il casinò e Descanso beach.
La terrazza è molto bella, gode di un ottima vista sul porto ma è veramente poco sfruttabile dato che non c’è un bar, sarebbe ottimo poter consumare la colazione in terrazza ma risulta molto scomodo a causa dei tre piani di scale che separano la zona allestita per la colazione e la terrazza.
L’allestimento della camera è buono, si può trovare una macchina del caffè e un forno a microonde, asciugamani in abbondanza e prodotti per il bagno ottimi. La colazione è senza infamia e senza lode, molto molto basic, con il senno di poi avrei preferito prenotare senza la colazione.

Cons:

Il letto è veramente molto piccolo. Bisogna leggere con attenzione la descrizione al momento della prenotazione per capire che si tratta di un letto lillipuziano. Non è possibile muoversi senza svegliare il proprio partner. I turisti che vengo da fuori potrebbero essere ingannati in quanto per gli standard europei un letto queen size è considerato più grande.
Il bagno anch’esso molto piccolo, non avevo mai visto un lavandino così piccolo 😅 ma perlomeno è presente una piccola finestra.

Not only was the location on a steep, sloped street,—there was no one available to help carry the luggage up to the second and third floors, despite the stairs،

Cons:

Very very small , dark room for two people , even I was by myself and reserved for two people ;uncomportable bed with uncofortable pillow

Pros:

Staff was very friendly, they offer to hold your bags after checkout if needed which we took advantage of. Rooms are small, but you have everything you need. Love the lighted mirror. Everything is within walking distance from the hotel. It is a walk uphill to the hotel.

Cons:

Restrooms could use updating.
