“The location directly across from the seafront is a definite advantage, providing immediate access to green spaces and beaches, though some rooms are affected by train noise. Recent renovations to some rooms, particularly the bathrooms, are a plus. Overall, it's a budget-friendly option primarily suited for those prioritizing location over extensive amenities.”
