I had a pleasant stay at Oaks Elan. The location is very convenient, within walking distance to many restaurants, shops, and places of interest. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The bed was comfortable and the room was spacious, with a good-sized lounge area. The kitchen was well equipped, which made the stay even more convenient. I also enjoyed the balcony with views of the city/harbour. It was great that the balcony had a covered area with seating, so you could still sit outside and enjoy the view even when it was raining. The in-room washer and dryer were very convenient, and the toiletries provided were a nice touch. One small improvement would be to include a clothes airer or drying rack. Overall, it was a comfortable and convenient place to stay.
