acceptable stay

handy location nearby restaurants stained linen bathroom privacy
The hotel location was handy. the ocean and the palais were less than 800 metres away. the 96 tram stops right by the hotel. I found nice restaurants nearby.
Bed linen was stained. It was dirty. the louvres did not fully close for privacy in the bathroom. I needed additional toilet paper.

artistic stay close to the beach

friendly staff home atmosphere convenient transport
the staff was very friendly and helpful. the room reminded me of a home away from home. transport was conveniently located near the building!!!
unfortunately, the air conditioner in the room didn't work and they did not fix it. they did not offer an alternative room. that was disappointing.
