Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Great hotel/ hostel. I really enjoyed my stay,
I was really pleased with my stay here. I stayed in the single room. It was spacious with had clean furniture. The room was clean. My only complaint was an occasional smell in the bathroom. The staff was very friendly. They had a very nice rooftop area, and it was in a great area. Highly recommended.
