A great value for your money
The room was very clean. It had a nice hot shower. The neighborhood is very nice. For a short walk there's a shopping center with a restaurant. The only thing is be aware that the staff did not speak English.

This is a great little boutique hotel. Check in was easy and the whole place is meticulously clean from the common area to the room. The bed was comfortable and the water in the shower was nice and hot, with good pressure. We would definitely recommend this accommodation.

Such a beautiful little retreat in a nice quiet residential neighborhood. Close to the old town and a quick cab or Uber ride there. Great breakfast for a small price with attentive staff. Highly recommend it.

Calm staying and pool between flights
It was a short 2-nights stay after a transatlantic flight. The property is close to the city center (by taxi) and both the national (10 min drive) international (25 min) airports. The pool was essential - first days were tough (hot and humidity). The breakfast lacks fruits. The staff is very friendly. Serenity and tranquility - were happy that didn’t stay in the central (noisy) locations.

This is a great value for the money. Simple, very clean rooms. The sheets smelled so fresh, that I just had to ask what detergent they were using.
