Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel offers contemporary yet simply decorated rooms with ensuite showers, balconies, and sofa beds. The service is commendable with laundry and tours/ticket assistance available. The location is convenient, being almost in front of a bus stop and close to many tourist attractions. The dining experience includes healthy salads. However, the neighborhood may not be the most interesting.
