I found the hotel to be quite a mixed bag. On the positive side, the air conditioning was fantastic, and there were plenty of TV channels to choose from. However, the rooms were small and had a bit of a smell, plus there was a lot of noise coming from the streets and neighboring rooms. It's probably not the best place for families.

The hotel has some great aspects, like the comfortable rooms and friendly staff. However, the location feels a bit rough and isolated, especially at night. The dining experience was also underwhelming, with limited options for breakfast. Overall, it offers decent value for the price, but improvements could be made.

Rooms

The room had two very comfortable double beds and a nice en suite bathroom, but it unfortunately smelled a bit like stale cigarette smoke and had a tiny window that looked into an enclosed hallway, making it feel dark.

I had a pretty mixed experience at this hotel. The location felt a bit off, with some dark and lonely streets, and the room I stayed in was small and not very pleasant due to the stale smell. However, the staff were friendly and the basics like breakfast were adequate to start the day. Overall, it’s not the ideal place if you're looking for comfort and a good atmosphere.

My stay was somewhat mixed. While the air conditioning in the room was excellent and there were plenty of TV channels, the overall room quality was a letdown due to noise and a musty smell. The location felt a bit rough and isolated, especially at night, which made it less comfortable. However, the breakfast was adequate and got me started for the day.

The hotel is a bit out of the main area, and while the rooms are decent, they do carry a hint of stale cigarette smoke. I appreciated the staff's friendliness, but the breakfast options were quite limited, which left me wanting more. Overall, it's fairly priced considering the location and amenities, but keep in mind the surrounding area might feel rough at times.
