I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, enjoying its clean and comfortable rooms, along with the friendly staff. The location can't be beaten, with everything from cafes to markets just a short walk away. However, I did find the noise from neighboring rooms could be a bit disruptive at times. Also, while the dining options were basic, the prices were quite reasonable.
