The hotel is right in the center of town, offering fantastic views of the surrounding islands. The rooms are a bit cramped and have a musty smell, especially room #1. The service is a mixed bag, with some friendly encounters but also unhelpful staff. The location is great for experiencing the town's action and ocean views, although some might find the damp smell off-putting. The dining experience is average, not too special, and the facilities are decent but basic.

The hotel has amazing water views and a spacious room with a mini fridge and a safe, but lacks soundproofing, which can be bothersome when families with kids are above. The ocean view is pretty nice overall.

The location was perfect, right in the center of all the action in town overlooking the sea. It was convenient for accessing the surrounding islands and restaurants, and very close to everything. The only minor issue was the possibility of encountering a few bugs in the dining area due to fewer guests.
Dining

The dining experience was very complete with a variety of options for breakfast including fruit, bread, eggs, juice, coffee or tea, and marmalades. The advertised early start time was convenient for catching the ferry. However, there could be improvements in pest control due to the fewer guests.

The room I stayed in showed signs of wear and had poor workmanship, but considering the price and location, it was manageable. The presence of a double and twin bed made the room feel cramped.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On the bright side, the location is fantastic, right in the middle of all the action in town and with stunning views of the surrounding islands. However, the service left much to be desired with unhelpful staff and a lack of attention to customer needs. Despite some shortcomings, the hotel's prime location and accessibility make it a convenient choice for travelers looking to explore the area.
