Nice Location, Friendly and smiling and always to your help. Close to Waterfront and City.
The heavy charges charged per person by the Hotel for dropping you at the Waterfront which is just 500 meteres form the hotel is not fair. All the hotels in the surrounding are providing free transport to and fro.

A very conveniently located Accomodation where staff is very friendly and always smiling and ready to help whatever possible way. Away from home these attitudes make you feel happy and relaxed and comfortable.
