The hotel was hard to get to due to location and traffic and there was no facility parking, but the hotel was very quaint and authentic to the country. We loved the courtyard dining area. The staff was very nice and cordial. Our room and bathroom were small but the beds were comfortable. We were only there one night to fly out the next day.

The property was nice and staff very friendly. The building was older and in good condition. There was not A/C which was okay with the windows opened. The tall room doors had ventilation openings at the top of them which opened to the main hallway. This was nice for airflow but unfortunately also lets sound travel from the hall to the room. Breakfast was very good and there were quite a few shops and restaurants in the area. It was a good value for money overall and an easy trip from the airport.

I would say it's more like 4.5 stars. The room was small but spotless and fit our family of 4. Comfortable beds. Check-in was easy and the staff was pleasant and very nice. Breakfast was delicious, and set in a cute little courtyard. We easily took an Uber to the airport for a reasonable cost. The cons: no A/C, so we opened the window, but there were no screens so I got bug bites (just me, no one else) and the cars on the street were kind of noisy. But given the price of the room, you can't complain - you could just put on some bug spray and bring some earplugs if you're a light sleeper!
