Although simple and small, the hotel has the essential a guest needs. It is clean, breakfast is good, the location is excellent. The only problem is that you can't have a meal in the hotel. They offer some snacks or drinks only. Another problem is that there is no leisure area. No fitness center, no swimming pool. I recommend for... More

This is definitely a budget hotel. If you expect that and not four starts, you should be good to go. I found the front staff rather helpful. There's usually at least one person who speaks English and they were helpful when I had questions. The hotel is in a good location in terms having accessibility to shops, the beach line... More

When you walk in to the hotel you may consider that you are in a palace, but that impression soon leaves as soon as you get to your room. Don't get me wrong, it's clean and has all the necessary facilities, but the rooms don't match the lobby. The breakfast wasn't great but overall it was ok.

Unhelpful and umpolite staff, good location and average acomodations are assembled. My bedroon was very smelly. I cannot stand hotels who nowadays still allow costumers to smoke inside the bedrooms. That's disgusting! I complained and what was done was to spray a strong perfum in my bedroom. Never again! I strongly donnot recommend!!

This hotel charges a 4 star price but offers only a 3 or 2 star product. Hugely overpriced for a small, outdated room with terribly unhelpful staff. The view from the window was just into a concrete box full of air conditioning units. The breakfast was good and the location is reasonable, but in summary I've never paid so much... More

Stayed three nights with friend. Location is close to all major attractions and breakfast buffet (if you are one of the first to get there) is pretty acceptable. I have to say that the bell boy who welcomes you and takes you to your room and the lady who is in charge of the breakfast area are very nice, as... More
