The room was large but very dark and it needs updating. The shower had a dangerous step with no rail. It was difficult to exit without slipping. Also the shower was very small. We had to ask twice for the room to be serviced and the pillows were smelly!

Excellent with a few design flaws. Recommended.

Service and stay was excellent. Location is perfect, near fish market, shopping area and historic square. Staff is friendly and attentive. Refrigerator is helpful and you have both a kettle and Nespresso machine in the room. Better picture of the rooms on the website would be helpful. I upgraded to an “executive suite” because I saw a bathtub shower and find stepping over and into a bathtub cumbersome post knee injury. The shower in the executive suite still requires about an 18 centimeter step up. Small shower, be careful not to jam a finger in the shower door an it opens or closes. Anything that wasn’t perfect was due to poor design on the part of the architects who designed the rooms. It seemed that the HVac was not great but then I realized that the air conditioning worked well. The swinging doors on the shower room if left open provide extra light in the room and make late night trips to the sink easier and quieter. But the door will block the vent and the cool air behind the door surrounds the thermostat but doesn’t get to the guests so the air conditioner will shut down. Keep the bathroom door closed and the room will cool off nicely. The retractable vanity mirror was mounted so high that if you are 5 ft 5 or less you will be looking directly up at it. There are outlets on both sides of the bed which is great but not by the bathroom mirrors. The built in night stands were tiny so you can’t put much there in addition to your phone. Excellent overall

Could be better!

The room was dusty and looked unkempt. I couldn't boil water with the kettle because the inside of it was very dirty. The air conditioner was blowing hot even when the weather was reading about 27 degrees Celsius! Yet, when I raised it, there was no solution that could be found. Sleeping at night was extremely difficult because of the heat.
