Pros:

Only the view

Cons:

The staff wasn't helpful, the noises at night made me sleepless, lack of facilities, no water, no refrigerator, no kettle, the light at the room was too faint, i booked for 2 nights but i couldn't complete the second night. They even opened an investigation with us when we arrived at the hotel to make sure that my wife was actually my wife, simply because we didn’t have our marriage certificate with us. It was honestly ridiculous.

Good location.. Not much else
Pros:

Location is ok next to the market. Staff is friendly for the most part.

Cons:

The place is old and not well maintained. The bathroom in my room was very small.. Water pressure was low.. issues with hot water. I even saw a cockroach on my last day and made me freak out that maybe cockroaches got into my luggage. The hotel staff were nosy and acted like the moral police with my fiancee. No coffee maker in the room.. You have to buy everything from the downstairs coffee shop and they only take cash. The hotel also only takes cash.
I will never stay here again.

The location and view were great, and the staff were friendly, but the lack of basic services, poor facilities.
Pros:

Good location, close to restaurants, the seaside road, and the Sea Castle.

Very nice room view.

Friendly and helpful staff.

Cons:

The bathroom was small, and there was no hot water available when we first arrived at the hotel.

The air conditioner was not working; instead, they provided a pedestal fans.

No parking service, guests are expected to park their cars in front of the hotel.

No basic hotel amenities were available, such as slippers.

The door used a traditional key, which did not feel secure.

The elevator was extremely small, it could fit only two people or one person with luggage.
