9/10 Wonderful! (225 reviews)

The room was decently clean. Our particular sink was a bit slow to drain, but otherwise okay. The front desk staff were always very friendly and helpful. The air conditioning was amazing and needed during July. The area is a bit older, but felt relatively safe with lots of stores, bakeries, restaurants and cafes around to explore. We did not explore much after dark, so we cannot give an opinion on night life. Only a 30-40 minute walk from the city centre, which is a plus.

"The hotel was nice but my gosh it is not worth the money.

As well, once you get there, every restaurant is beyond expensive and you are not near ..."
