I had a lovely two-night stay at Rm The Experience over Easter. The location was great—close to the old town and the port. I appreciated the delicious breakfast served at the bakery next door, which was a true highlight. However, I did face some issues with the shower pressure and the lack of WiFi signal in my room, which need addressing.
