Reviews
Our room was very small - hardly room for 2 suitcases. Only outlook was into a four sided void within the building. Water slushing down pipes outside in this void was common. Fortunately there was a window we could open. Not the best room for sure so be careful of room choice. Bed was comfortable however and we enjoyed our stay.
There were no tea/ coffee making facilities in the room nor operational in the foyer. This was disappointing. However lovely cold lemon flavoured water was always on hand there.
Breakfast was very poor. Excellent options were available outside within 50 meters.
The hotel is rather beautiful and again - location excellent.
Get ready to get no sleep. The walls are paper thin, happy times waking up from someone moving furniture at 5AM.
The ladies at the front desk were rude. The man was nice enough. The room is super small, ac doesn’t work. Zero ventilation and none of the windows had bug nets so we couldn’t even open the windows.
Bathroom is poorly designed, water just pools outside the tub when you shower. The sink sucks.
There are plenty of small hotels with convenient locations point and pick and it will probably be better.
Don’t ask them to call you a taxi, they probably get some kickback and will get you the most expensive one.
