excellent location clean room friendly staff small bathroom thin wall laundry noise
The location was excellent. It was close to bus stop 13. It made airport transfers and excursions SIMPLE. Our room was clean, spacious, and warm, nice. The staff were also wonderful and friendly. EVERYONE was caring.
The bathroom was small. The shower felt cramped. Our room was opposite the laundry room. I heard washing machines daily at 10am. The walls seemed thin. It was not ideal for light sleepers.

A mixed stay near the center

sulphur smell loud road
The location is good, a short walk from the main shopping street. Breakfast offered many choices.
The hot water had a sulphur smell and made me gag. This seemed normal for old piping systems. The road outside was also loud.

convenient lodging close to everything!

advantageous location easy travel quick replenishment
The location proved advantageous. The main shopping streets were a short walk away. accessibility by both car and bus made travel easy! tour buses picked up guests right in front of the building. the breakfast buffet featured a neat presentation with quick replenishment.
The shower's water temperature was hard to regulate. It made showering inconvenient.

Acceptable But Flawed Stay

limited shelf space uncomfortable temperature
The staff was cute and communicative .
The room I booked had some issues. It lacked space for luggage. There were also no blinds, so the midnight sun lit the room all night. The room felt uncomfortably warm, even with the window open.
