Reviews
It would be better if the stairs are not spiral in shape to easily carry the luggage to the second floor.
A budget-friendly, modern stay ideal for solo travelers. Clean rooms, excellent location, and friendly staff stand out. Compact spaces but comfortable. Great value for money with good facilities, breakfast and overall pleasant experience.
The staff is humble, the facilities is also OK: the bed, laundry is free, breakfast is delicious.
Love the environment! so Cozy! ☺️
