Staying here was a bit costly considering the size and location of the room. Despite that, the room itself was nice, clean, and cozy. However, it was quite small, making it difficult to move around with luggage. The bathroom was tiny, with a sink that seemed more suitable for a child. On the bright side, the room had a very comfortable double bed and a bunk bed that was spacious.

The hotel is perfectly situated away from the crowds but still within easy walking distance to the town center, local restaurants, and attractions. It's a special city with nearby pubs and fresh seafood restaurants, offering a convenient and desirable location.

The dining experience was a nice compromise between portion size and quality. The breakfast, while included, was a bit underwhelming with small portions and undercooked items upon arrival.

My stay at Desota was a mix of positives and negatives. The location is convenient, being within walking distance of the town center and offering easy access to various attractions. However, the room I stayed in faced a busy road, leading to disturbances from outside noises and an unusual draft that caused the door to bang. On the bright side, the service provided by the hosts was exceptional, with their friendly and knowledgeable assistance standing out as a highlight of my experience.
