Pros:

I love the location near the water. You're right in the middle of Old Town with shops and restaurants.

Cons:

When I got to the room, I noticed that the cleaning staff missed the washcloth that was at the back of the shower stall. Other than that, the room was great.

Overall it was a great stay and if I go back to the area again, I would definitely come back.
Pros:

We were extremely surprised on how friendly the staff was our entire stay. Especially Nico! He greeted us with a big smile. Remembered my name the following day. Asked if there was anything he could help us with. Suggested places to eat and sights to see.

Cons:

We did have issues with the key getting into the room. Each day we had to get a new key because it would work.

Pros:

Location

Cons:

The smell and dampness of the room. It is an old building with AC, yet it seemed like the AC was not working properly as our clothes were very damp. Note it was extreme heat outside.

Pros:

Super soft bedding and pillows and the location was superb!

Cons:

The bathroom and bedroom were relatively dark. The bedroom had several lamps that each needed to be turned on individually (no master light switch), and the bathroom was surprisingly dark for putting on makeup.

Excellent hotel. Reception dsk and location were wonderful. Would stay here again!
Pros:

The reception desk staff was excellent, so friendly. There was a "coolong station" in the lobby with sun screen, hand towels, and hand fans. Such a nice extra touch in this unbearably hot weather.
