Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel provided a pleasant stay overall, with cozy rooms and welcoming service. The location was convenient, but the dining options were limited. The facilities were well-maintained, though there were some minor issues with noise.
The hotel is in a convenient location, very close to all attractions and eateries. The rooms are basic but have a private bathroom. The service is attentive with the provision of a fan upon request. However, the street outside can be noisy at times. The dining offers local and seasonal products. Overall, a decent stay for the price.
The hotel has a real individual charm with very comfortable beds, but the exterior bathroom may not be for everyone. The service was attentive, offering us the WiFi password and accommodating our request for a fan. The location is very near to the city centre and close to beaches, making it convenient for exploring. The included sliced tropical fruits were a nice touch in the dining experience, but the lack of some facilities may not suit everyone.
