The view from the balcony was beautiful. The location was very good and very close to shopping. The staff was very distant and cold and not personable but that doesn't affect my choice when I pick a hotel. The breakfast was excellent and the hotel itself was very spacious. The hotel doesn't have an elevator l so if that's a problem for you, you should bring it up before you book the hotel to see if they can accommodate you. If you depend on Wi-Fi it could be a problem. One problem I did have was when the staff called for a cab, which by the way was located less than a block away. When we arrived, we paid one price. Since the staff offered to call the cab when we were leaving, I expected to be charged the same price to return to the ferry. The taxi driver charged us an additional $10 Euros and told me that we had to pay more because of the phone call. In addition, it was never even brought up until I asked the driver when we were already in the car and moving. The staff never mentioned it and had we known, there was absolutely no reason to have him call since we only had to walk 1/2 block away. We felt we were taken advantage of. Beware!
