Having to check out at 11 in the morning...Should be at 12. Does not have air conditioning.
The comfort of the bedding, the size of the room, the breakfast, and the hotel's location

The hot water takes a long time to come in the shower and once I only had cold water
The location is perfect 30 min walk from pier 39, close restaurants and also a small market

The unpleasant surprise of the parking price (not just a small supplement!!), the lack of maintenance of the hotel (impossible to open our windows, impossible ventilation leading to mold on the walls and an uncomfortable smell. Cleaning more than light.
Great location On the positive side, the mattress was comfortable, the bedding was clean, and the room was cleaned every day. The coffee, tea, fridge, and microwave available near the reception were definitely a big plus.

The hotel itself is very old in reality, and the renovation was done on a very tight budget – although the bathroom was renovated. Unfortunately, there was a very specific smell of old age in the room. Pictures you see on Booking are heavily post-processed. Breakfast was a mini-buffet (scrambled eggs with bacon, cereal, rolls with cheese and cold cuts, and fruit), BUT the service was lacking – forks were missing, and the staff couldn't keep up with replenishing the buffet or clearing tables for the next guests. A huge downside was that my room had no daylight – the window faced a wall, which was hidden in the offer. I would have gladly paid extra for a room with a view if I had the option.
The location is very good, the breakfast can be improved but I was satisfied with it as it is, especially loved the complimentary tea and coffee in the lobby. The beds were clean and comfortable. Our stay was generally good

Needs a bit of renovation especially the elevator. It breaks down often
