Great place to stop for a couple days. Room is on the smaller side, there are three of us. But it spotless. The common room upstairs is fantastic, a space you can chill, do a bit of work or even cook your meal.

the hotel itself was really cute. we loved the room itself, but the exterior bathroom had cockroaches. overall, the room (for the external bathroom) was really clean and nice, but the bathroom, with the bugs at night, was not the best. loved the location as well.

Not the best place I would recommend to stay. Shower did not work and no hot water - they did fix that but when you pay a high price for your stay your expectations were dashed. Room was lacking and no tea or coffee unless you go up to hostel area and get it from there. The Staff were very good and helpful. We would not stay there again!
