Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This place is quirky, affordable, and gets the job done. No fridge in the private rooms and they are quite small. Overall tho for the price it’s more than enough for a solo traveler or a couple with minimal needs. Had a pleasant stay there and the bar is pretty great, lobby is nice.

I loved it! I met a lot of friendly people. The staff was so welcoming, and they were checking on us and helping our stay to be more cozy. We had problem with the airconditioner but they fixed it right away. Other problem we had is that in the last 2-3 days of our stay, when we showered, the water was going and coming back...it was kind of weird but not a huge issue since we could shower. I burned twice in one of the days but I got used to it and knew later how to work with it
