Loved the hotel. Its location was perfect. We were in easy walking distance to the train station and a departure point for our tour to the cliffs. Our room was very nice, however, be aware that the third floor is under renovation. Our initial room was not up to my standards and it did not have air conditioning. The manager changed our room immediately and all was great after that. The bar and restaurant are very pretty, clean and upscale. The breakfasts were exceptional for an included breakfast. The servers allowed us to customize our meal with the menu choices so that was wonderful.

Excellent hotel located very close to the train and bus stations as well as the centre of town. Staff was very helpful. Our room was large, comfortable and clean. We had dinner one night in the hotel restaurant and the food was excellent. Considering how busy it was, many locals feel the same way.
