The place was really nice, and we enjoyed our stay overall. The only small downside was the breakfast, which had limited options. There were börek, eggs, different kinds of cheese, some salads, bread, honey, and jam, but not much beyond that.

The room was very clean and the breakfast was very good. The location was great with lots of places to eat within walking distance. The only minus was on Saturday night when we heard the loud music from a nearby bar until 3 am. Despite that I would definitely recommend staying here.

The hotel was lovely as was the service and breakfast and location. It’s a busy popular area so it was a little noisy in the room at night, but no fault to the hotel of course. Would stay here again :)

Ideal pre-cruise hotel. Ideal location to walk to the port. Friendly and welcoming staff. Lots to do within 20 minutes of walking. Transit is also affordable if you to explore more.
