“I noted the diverse breakfast and proximity to various transport options-bus, metro, and ship; also, certain rooms offer sea views, adding a definite appeal. Staff attentiveness, particularly from figures like Reza and Nergis, seems to enhance the stay. In my opinion, it's a place where service and location meet.”
