The staff was helpful with tour bookings at the helpdesk.
The hotel had some issues. My room felt quite dated and not particularly well-kept. The shower was small and difficult to use without making a mess of the entire bathroom floor. I think the beds could be more comfortable.

The hotel is close to the main shopping street. It is also near the sea front. The airport buses stop right in front. The staff let me check in early and gave me a room on the 5th floor, so I had a sea view. The breakfast was also very well-organized. I had big variety of choices.
The bed was not very comfortable, and the mattress was hard.
