Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is located away from the main thoroughfares, providing a safe environment, although there is an issue with too many mosquitoes. The rooms are very small and not well-kept, and breakfast is not worth the money. The hotel only offers cashless payment options, which might not suit everyone but is more convenient for locals.
The hotel offers a mix of positive and negative experiences. The rooms are generally good and spacious, but they are unkept, with too many mosquitoes around, especially during breakfast and in the evening. On the bright side, the food served was fresh and enjoyable.
My stay at the hotel had its highs and lows. The location was cozy and felt like a little paradise in the area, but it wasn't as close to the attractions as stated on the website. The rooms were not ready for every single necessity, and being on the second floor made in-and-out movements a bit inconvenient.
The hotel rooms were basic and clean, positioned away from busy streets, but could benefit from having heaters or warmers. Overall, a safe choice for a stay.
The hotel had limited space which could have been better, and the rooms were far from the reception area. However, the cleanliness was on point, but heaters/warmers could enhance the comfort.
