My stay here was fantastic. It was a short walk from many essentials—from the train station, to markets, restaurants/cafes, and (more importantly, for those on a long trip) foolproof laundromats. The staff were kind, welcoming and very helpful. The room was clean and always well-kept. I would for sure stay here again the next time I’m in town! Highly recommend.

The room itself was okay if a bit small. However, we had issues with the bathroom. The shower drain didn’t work properly. We alerted the hotel, but nothing was done to correct the situation. The bathroom also emanated a weird sewage smell.

Exceeded expectations!

Clean & comfortable. Bed was bigger than expected. Breakfast was delicioys & an amazing value - don't skip this! Bathroom was small but modern & the plumping was great (awesome water pressure in shower). Was great for our short stay, but might feel small for a multiday trip.

this place was totally misleading. all of the pictures are from the one suite they have. no rooftop or balcony like they make the rooms look. the air condition wouldn’t go below 26°celsius and we woke up miserable and drenched in sweat. not sure if this is would have been fixable as we only stayed one night. the place was fine for it but absolutely not what we thought it’d be
