I’m writing this review to complement the hotel staff. Everyone was so friendly and very helpful. They patiently answered all of our questions and didn’t laugh at our language efforts. The restaurant in the hotel was also delicious with warm staff. The only issue with the hotel is no beach but perfect if you need a place to stay by the ferry.

Great hotel to start or end your trip.
Great location. Close to the airport, ferry, and the market. Clean and comfortable. Well equipped gym and nice pool. They are willing to store your luggage after check out if needed.

We had to book on short notice. The staff on arrival were not very helpful. However, the staff when we checked out went over and above and for that we are so grateful.

Nice hotel, can walk everywhere, can walk to ferry station
Many restaurants within 5 minutes
My only issue is with the room AC, it was pretty warm in my room. Kept waking up middle of the night.
The rooms are very nice and quite spacious.

Great location across from ferry dock and short walk to cruise ship dock. Easy walk to shopping and restaurants. Rooftop bar was nice. Great salad in their cafe for lunch. Comfortable bed. Air conditioning in room worked great. But there didn’t seem to be any A/C in the lobby. Would stay there again.

Friendly staff and clean room. The only negative thing is dinner. We planned to get food from the city center, but no umbrella was available for a rainy evening. We were close to getting a taxi and we didn't want to get soaking wet from the rain😓
