Reviews and Ratings
My stay at this hotel had some ups and downs. The location was practical but not impressive, and the rooms were disappointing compared to the pictures shown online. The service had its moments of rudeness but also some helpfulness. The dining experience, while adequate, left much to be desired. Overall, not the most pleasant stay I've had.
The hotel offers spacious rooms that need some renovation but still provide a cute and cozy atmosphere, giving it an edge over other budget options. The service is friendly and helpful, although some staff have limited English proficiency. The location is great for markets and bars, although a bit far from the city center. The dining experience provides a plentiful continental breakfast but might be late for early risers. Overall, a decent value for money with a few areas that could be improved.
The hotel had some issues with the rooms, but the service was exceptional. The location was a bit out of the way, and the dining experience was disappointing. However, the modern vibe and walks into town were positive aspects.
