Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with easy access to the balcony to enjoy the complimentary beverages. The staff were as friendly as could be and made all the arrangements to make this stay as easy as possible, including a 12noon check-out. The location was convenient, right across the street from the bus station. The dining experience was satisfactory with homemade bread. Overall, a great value for money!
The hotel offers a cozy stay with easy balcony access for enjoying complimentary beverages in a quirky king bedroom on the first level with a large free-standing tub. The service was top-notch and accommodating with a friendly attitude, even allowing a 12-noon check-out. The location, while near the city center and amenities, felt a bit rundown being directly across from the central bus station. Dining options were not included, but the hotel served scrambled eggs. Overall, a decent value for a convenient and comfortable stay.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was convenient, right across the street from the bus station, but the neighborhood felt a bit rundown. The service was top-notch, making everything easy for me, including a 12noon check-out, but the dining options were not included. The room was lovely, with easy balcony access and a gorgeous bathtub, but the price could be considered high for what was offered.
I was delighted with the trendy decor and the beautiful bathtub in the room, although the lack of wardrobe space was a bit of a drawback. The heating worked well to keep the room cozy.
