Great staff - especially the man covering management duty at night. Room / hotel clean Breakfast good Restaurant good Close to airport Location could be more convenient - no shops nearby and need a good walk to get to the beach. Uber needed. AC wasnt working in initial room but got moved in a different but similar room within reasonable timeframe

The Hotel should try servinge Indian Style Vegetarian Dish options for their guests. I requested if they could make a Vegetable Potato Curry. The Chef was able to cook up a delicious Curry and I had a very satisfying meal on the second day evening.

É um bom hotel, com localização ideal para quem passa pela cidade, fácil acesso. A recepção foi atenciosa e o checkin foi rápido. Inconveniente de ter que subir escadas com bagagens. O apartamento é bom, a cama é confortável e o banho atendeu bem. Bom ar refrigerado. Bom buffet de jantar com atendimento ótimo! Café da manhã satisfatório, com boas opções! No geral, o hotel agradou bastante!
