Although this property is very good and it has its own uniqueness, only thing is you can check in only after 2:00 pm. We went around 1:00 pm, no staff available, We have to come back after 2:00 pm.

They need to install some proper curtains that actually block the light from the extremely well lit carpark behind the hotel.

our room had character and was comfortable for a one night stay. Sadly, there was noise at night from outside on the street, disturbing our sleep and despite adequate lighting, it felt dark, however the reception staff was very friendly and welcoming
