Fabulous hotel

Tucked off the main street, this hotel is a fabulous place to stay. Really handy for all attractions and really centrally located. The staff were friendly and helpful and the rooms were clean, spacious and cool in the heat. The staff in the rooftop bar were lovely and the cocktails were great too. Would recommend this hotel and I would definitely stay again.

Booked two rooms, both in courtyard. You have to take three levels of stairs, go outside down a set of stairs then over a wooden walkway with luggage. Room 603 smelled like sewage at all times, shower had zero privacy and an awkward step down into the bathroom. Hotel was in ok area, not bad but not great. Black mold in the shower and in the coffee maker (have photos). I would absolutely not recommend this location if given these overpriced rooms.
