“This is a budget option where the staff's friendliness shines, seemingly compensating for the dated facilities. The absence of an elevator might pose a challenge, and light sleepers should note potential noise issues. I think that the location and price make it suitable for a quick overnight, provided you temper expectations.”

I had a wonderful experience at the Dreams Hotel before and after my Caribbean cruise. The staff was incredibly accommodating and made us feel at home, even when we arrived early in the morning due to travel delays. I appreciated the clean rooms and the location near various eateries and attractions. However, I found the check-in time a bit inconvenient, though the staff did their best to make it smooth for us.

I found myself at Dreams Hotel for a quick birthday weekend getaway, and it turned out to be a pleasant experience overall. The hotel provided a clean and cozy atmosphere, perfect for relaxing after a day of shopping. The service was notably helpful, especially when arranging taxis, which I appreciated. On the downside, the shower was quite small, and while it was a good value, I wished for a bit more comfort in the bed.

I was pleasantly surprised by my stay at Dreams Hotel. The owner, Elena, was incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the location was perfect for exploring the local area. However, the street noise at night could be bothersome, so I recommend a room at the back. Overall, this hotel offers excellent value for money with all the essential amenities.
