Okay

This was in a pretty good location! They offered breakfast options and waters in our room on the first day (nothing was ever refilled though like they had originally told us). They provide soap, shampoo and conditioner in all of the showers. There were a pair of spa slippers for each person which was cute. The floors and bed covers were very dirty though which made the whole experience just feel more run down sadly.

The staff are amazing, friendly, helpful and accommodating. They go out of their way to make your stay the best it can be. I stayed in 2 different rooms, the 1st a 1 bedroom suite, everything was perfect. The 2nd stay was a 2 bedroom suite with family. The rooms could use a bit of an uplift. Both suites were very clean and getting fresh linen or refills on anything was not a problem

Great place to stay clean friendly good location

Ideal place to stay size wise with the family with a teenage son it meant he had his own space. Comfy beds kitchen with dishwasher and washing machine. Staff were really friendly. The only down side I would say is that the 3 strip clubs at the end of the road. They were not an issue just a bit awkward with kids. 5 min walk to the grass market and the rest of the city is very accessible

We had a nice large apartment that accommodated our family of three very comfortably. It had a nice clean kitchen, living room, 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. I appreciated that the bathrooms were very clean. The shower in one bath didn’t work very well but the other shower worked great (hot water and great water pressure). Property is located in a great part of town close to all the cool shops and eateries. Highly recommend.
