Lovely hotel with excellent friendly service, in a former palace, modern decor. Breakfast was a bit limited, though the stuffed sweet pastries were delicious and the coffee was made fresh, and the dining room was comfortable and attractive. Location is close to a metro stop and the seafront, though quite a way from sights. Many good restaurants nearby. Cons: Could have better closet/storage setup, a better outfitted kitchenette (there were no cooking implements, plates, cups or kettle even though there were burners) and the shower drain was slow.
