the breakfast was really good. the hotel was near the seaside. i found cafes, restaurants and a market within walking distance. the seaview rooms looked quite nice to me.
the dinner service seemed chaotic to me, badly coordinated. the waiter thought i had finished my dinner when i had only eaten the first course. no one asked if i wanted dessert or coffee, even after i finished the main course.

rooftop views stole the show!

I was given a room with blackout power blinds. These were great at sunrise! i also found the bed linens and pillows to be the most comfortable of all the hotels i stayed at. the rooftop restaurant had wonderful views. I spent a lot of time up there!
The chamber maid forgot to leave an extra roll of toilet paper. I had to get one from her cart.

The hotel is just a short walk to the metro station. It's convenient, with only two stops to the city center for one euro! it is right on the waterfront, nice.

My room offered a balcony with a direct view of the ocean. It was quite pleasant. Black-out power blinds were useful. The bed linens felt very comfortable.
The chamber maid did not leave an extra roll of toilet paper. I had to find her cart to get one. She also left used coffee mugs on the counter. The lobby area could use some updating, like replacing the ripped couches.
