7 / 10Good·Sep 2026
Very helpful and friendly staff.
Situated on a noisy road.
7 / 10Good·Jun 2026
Staff was very nice and relaxed. Location is 20 mins walking to the town centre or 2 dollars (taxi ride). Laundry is a fair price and they give you the clothes the same day. The staff is what stands out.
Rooms were small and the facilities were basic. Pictures on booking look better than the actual place. It is clean but very basic and not very well maintained. Breakfast was basic and no variety. We don’t find it ideal for families with young kids like us. The balconies and stairs are quite dangerous, we were always on the lookout.
9 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2026
The room was clean and spacious and ideal for a one night stopover.
It was a little way out of town so we needed to catch a taxi for our dinner. They still only charged $2 each way.
6 / 10Average·Jul 2025
The stuff is nice and helpful.
The beds very comfortable and clean
The breakfast is poor and monotonous
The bathroom faucet is timed by pressing….
