Basic hotel off the main area. Dining options nearby. On bottom of hill, carrying luggage was a challenge. Overall average

The staff are friendly, and the location is quite still. I didn't expect breakfast at all, but it was much better than I thought.

I booked this hotel however, they sent me to the sister hotel Nest Kimi. The location is amazing, 15 minutes walk to the convention center where, there great restaurants. It is a very walking area of town very safe also. There are many dining options around the hotel Nest Kimi itself just few steps away. There is no room cleaning services throughout my 4 days there. The breakfast area is smaller but you can order options from the menu whis great. You can order smoothly, pancakes, omelets. No ac or fan in the room. There is a nest in the room but not prevent some bites however. Be aware that they may ask to again at the check out even with prepaid reservation. You need to have your Hotels.com recept with you

Dans un cadre tres agréable nous avons apprecié notre séjour dans ce logement. L'établissement est propre, le personnel est tres sympathique et les chambres sont tres bien (lit confortable, eau chaude, etc) Nous avons appercié particulièrement le buffet du petit dejeuner. Pour le diner, l'établissement propose la livraison de plat asiatique tres bon.
