Excellent Stay near the Harbour

cute staff public transport heated bathroom
I found the room simple but comfortable. Most of the staff were very cute. The hotel's location near the river and public transport made it easy to get around. I liked the spacious room and the heated bathroom floor. It was a nice touch.
My room did not include blackout curtains. Sunlight woke me early each morning. This made it difficult to sleep past 5 am. Three of the pillows were too soft, which did not provide adequate support for a comfortable sleep.
Location

The hotel is located by the river, offering pleasant views and easy access to public transport. I could easily reach various parts of the city using the nearby metro station, a short walk from the hotel.
