Reviews and Ratings
The room I stayed in was quite small and basic, which made it hard to find space for my luggage. However, the location was really good—tucked away on a quiet street but still close to plenty of restaurants and shops. While I appreciated having a TV and air conditioning, I felt the rate was pretty steep for what was offered, especially with no breakfast included. I believe there are better options in the area for similar prices that offer more comfort and amenities.
I had a pleasant stay overall, with the hotel in a nice location close to the beach and various restaurants. The rooms were clean, though not overly spacious, and the staff was very attentive and friendly. Unfortunately, the hotel was undergoing renovations during my stay, which made things a bit noisy during the day. Additionally, I felt the prices were a bit high for what I got, as breakfast wasn’t included.
I recently stayed at this hotel, and I found its location to be quite convenient, close to beaches and various restaurants. The rooms were clean, although they lacked natural light due to no exterior windows, which was a downside for me. The staff truly stood out with their attentiveness and friendliness, but I did endure some noisy construction work during the day that marred the experience slightly. Overall, it's a decent place, but there may be better options available for similar pricing.
I stayed at this hotel and found the room to be very small and basic, which can be a downside if you're looking for comfort. However, the location is quite good, situated on a quiet street near various restaurants and shopping malls. The price felt high given the limited amenities and there was no breakfast included, so I would recommend checking other hotels nearby for better value.
