I had a decent stay at the hotel, with clean and spacious rooms that offered a great level of comfort. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, which made a difference in my experience. The location couldn't be better, nestled in a quiet back street with easy access to popular bars and restaurants in the backpackers district. However, I faced some noise issues from residents who didn't leave their room as promised, which was a downside for me.

I had a pretty good stay at this hotel; the location is great and the staff were genuinely friendly and helpful. The room was nice and clean, providing great value for the price, but be prepared for a workout since there’s no elevator, and I had to climb a few flights of stairs. The dining options were pretty basic, so I ended up eating out more often. Overall, it’s a decent place if you don’t mind the stairs and are looking for a good price.
