Pros:

Excellent hotel, clean and well-maintained. The breakfast offers something for every taste. The view from the window is not amazing, but that’s not the main thing. The hotel is located in a very convenient place, right above the train station and a shopping center. You can’t hear the trains at all — it’s very quiet.
The beach is also within walking distance, about 10–15 minutes on foot. Pool on the roof also cool and can enjoy the sun.

Pros:

A good choice of accommodation if you need to stay near the train station—the one with the airport train.
Good juice for breakfast. They’re willing to put together at least a basic breakfast to go if you don’t have time for breakfast. There’s a fun slide in the lobby for (not just) kids. The small rooftop pool is more of a novelty. The room is large enough

Cons:

We had to wait until 3 p.m. for our room, and the hotel’s cleanliness was only average. The soap dispensers in the room don’t work properly. There’s a sign in the bathroom saying you should only shower for about 4 minutes, but that’s just how long it takes for the hot water to reach the 6th floor. The bathroom/toilet door doesn’t close properly, so you have no privacy.

We really loved the hotel and the bedroom in particular.
Pros:

We absolutely loved the room in this property. In particular felt the bathroom was very nice and modern. The bed was huge and very comfortable. The decor was very cool and the slide was fun. I liked how easy it was to get to the airport.

Cons:

The pool area was unfortunately closed during our trip, however it is important to note the pool is very small as is the sauna. The location was a bit of a walk.
