Excellent property to stay at for a very affordable price. Staff was kind and helpful when needed. Rooms were very nice, in comparison to some we have stayed in. There is so much to do just footsteps outside of the hotel. Highly recommend the hotel and location!

Hotel was comfortable and clean in a great location. The only thing is that the bathroom is very small, with barely any space to move around and space for storing your toileteries. Also staff could be a bit more accommodating considering we arrived at 2.20pm with a small baby and they made us wait until 3pm for check in in the reception area.

The property is well located for tourists with many shops and amenities that you will like. The property however is run down and isn’t in the best shape. The room I had stayed in smelled like someone had smoked in it and it was a very foul smell. There were stains on the walls and overall the room was not pleasant. The staff are very nice and welcoming and will ensure you have a great stay.
