I had a mostly positive stay at The Sun Hotel & Bar, with a central location and well-prepared meals. The room was pretty small and got quite hot, but the staff were friendly and helpful, which made up for it. Overall, it felt like a good value for the price, even with a couple of minor annoyances.

Still, the friendly staff made up for any shortcomings, and the breakfast was delicious, even though I couldn't finish it all.
