Insider Tips
- ✨
The security guard 'Duc' is the unsung hero of this hotel—tip him if he helps with your bike.
- ✨
Don't rely on the hotel laundry service for delicate items; use a local laundry shop down the street for cheaper/better care.
- ✨
The 'City View' rooms often have better noise insulation than the 'Sea View' rooms which face the wind and construction.
