Our stay was very disappointing. Just before midnight, water started leaking from the ceiling in our room and quickly turned into a safety hazard. Reception initially told us to wait in the room, then suggested we might need to return once the leak was fixed, despite the room being unsafe. We had to pack our things and wait in the foyer until around 1:15 AM before finally being moved to another room only because a guest didn’t show up. The whole situation was handled poorly, left us stressed in the middle of the night, and they refused a refund for the inconvenience. Unsafe conditions and unprofessional management. I do not recommend this hotel.

The property was fairly close to all the major sites and the train station. The rooms are very small, but we didnt stay in them very long, shower-sleep, Nice bathroom w/shower and clean. Could walk to most everything so no real need for taxi. Tram was bout 5 blocks away which took us to day trips. We did not use the breakfast option, didnt look that great, similar to the cheap american hotel breakfasts.

The staff were very friendly & helpful. Did not like the design of the shower with no door because water leaked out onto the floor in front of the toilet during each shower. Also the electrical outlet in the bathroom did not work making it difficult to use my flat iron. Otherwise was pleased with this hotel!

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

Great location

Great location to the city centre and a 10 minute or less walk to the train station. The room was clean, comfortable beds. They allowed us to keep our bags after checking out. Friendly staff and smooth check in and out. The only issue was the AC was not working properly.

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.
