The room was very clean, the air condition and the hot water supply for showers was consistently reliable and the breakfast was nice. The staff was very welcoming and provided me with all the helpful information. As soon as I went out, there were small shops and a small market not far away where I could buy fresh vegetables and fruits. I hope to stay again next time!

Hotel staff are the best, very pleasant, friendly and helpful. Location is excellent too, and clearly marked from the main street. The room size was good for the price. I booked a room with AC, and it cooled the room like a charm. Room is very quiet, despite the hotel being in a busy side of city centre, but you can't hear a thing inside the room.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
