7.2/10

The hotel offers a good location close to the beach and local restaurants. The rooms, although outdated, are clean and come with a decent breakfast option. However, the lack of sea views and outdated decor may not justify the price compared to newer hotels.

Rooms

7.0

The 'Standard Room' I booked was clean but outdated, lacking modern amenities. The price was reasonable considering breakfast was included.

Service

6.0

The service varied, from unhelpful cleaning staff to friendly security, administrators, and restaurant personnel. However, reception ignored my inquiry about the non-existent hotel shuttle service.

Location

8.0

The hotel's location is convenient, close to the beach, city center, casino, and key attractions. Despite a recurring unpleasant smell, the proximity to necessary amenities adds to the overall convenience.

Dining

8.0

The dining experience was excellent, offering delicious dishes that impressed. However, the high cost of meals may deter those with average appetites.

Facilities

7.0

The hotel provides basic facilities without any standout offerings. Decent for a comfortable stay.
