Superb

Very good

Bad

Disliked: The hotel is completely isolated, at least a 15-minute walk from the nearest subway. The room was small and dirty, with sticky jam on the floor. Breakfast is run like a military camp. At the entrance there is a rude attendant yelling at guests to give their room number, writing it down on a scrap of paper without even knowing if the room is occupied, how many people are inside, or if someone comes down in two rounds for breakfast.The same person dictates what you can and cannot take: there was a wrap with eggs or a classic plate with eggs and potatoes, but you are not allowed to have both. They put the food on your plate themselves, except for the cheap fruit and cold cuts from the discount store. If you take more than they like, they stare at you. The breakfast room is tiny, there aren’t enough seats, and you are forced to share long communal tables.The most absurd moment was when we asked for water, which was missing from the tables. The man serving the eggs left his station, went to the coffee and hot water thermoses, took some ice from a container, poured boiling water over it, and said: “Now you’ll see it becomes cold!” Absolutely ridiculous.For the price you pay, you expect something decent, not a place worse than the shadiest dive in New York. Avoid if you can, and keep in mind you will also spend extra money every day just to reach the city since it is so isolated.

A great place to stay...

Liked: Everything about the hotel was excellent, a very nice stay before our cruise. We enjoy the area, the restaurants and bars that were very close walk, overall an excellent stay. The breakfast was top shelf, the food and staff in the breakfast room were excellen
Disliked: That we only booked one night, before our cruise, the next time, we will book nights before and after the cruise.
