Great Spot in the City Center
central locationhelpful staffadjustable temperatureshower mold
The hotel's location near the city center is very convenient. I could easily walk to the main attractions. The staff offered helpful answers and suggestions . The room had a well-regulated temperature and was easy to adjust to my comfort.
I found some mold in the corners of the shower in the bathroom.

The hotel offers complimentary tea and cookies. I also observed several supermarkets located nearby the hotel. This made it very easy to pick up snacks and drinks.
Service

The receptionist provided me an option to move rooms upon arrival. This was because my original room wasn't quite ready. I found this level of attention to my needs kinda surprising.
Location
8/10
I noticed the hotel is within walking distance of necessities on the island. Its uphill placement offers a bit of exercise. Waffles are available in the shared living area which I found very charming.

A Wonderful Stay!
shared kitchenfriendly staffeasy accesselevator absence
The shared kitchen was great. It included everything needed to prepare meals, and it had coffee, cookies, and candy. The staff were friendly. They were helpful too. I appreciated the location. It gave easy access to shops and restaurants.
The lack of an elevator was inconvenient. I had to carry my suitcase up the stairs. This proved challenging after a long day of travel. I think an elevator would improve accessibility.

The shared kitchen facilities provided ample space and equipment for cooking. Guests have access to ovens, a lot of menaje, and all necessary utensils. There were also complimentary tea and coffee.
