    The shower in my room was great and very necessary given the hot weather when i was there. Really appreciated the coolness and strength of the water!

    It is a very attractive building inside and out in a lively part of the old town. Close to the beach and its esplanade and many restaurants nearby. The room was well appointed in terms of fridge etc but small and nowhere nice to sit for the second...
