The staff were incredibly helpful- above and beyond expectations. Rooms well equipped and cleaned with daily housekeeping. Location very close to restaurants and bars. We could walk to all tourist sites from this location. We enjoyed the non-touristy character of the area. Lots of local families around. Felt completely safe

Liked: Staff & service
It was advertised as a 4-star hotel, but definitely was not a 4-star hotel. The staffs were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean. However, the washroom had a horrible sewage smell. The room was tiny. Worse of it all was the location of the hotel was in a very sketchy area. There were graffiti, garbage, and homeless everywhere. There was a drug addict who is clearly high screaming by himself in front of the hotel. I would definitely not rebook this hotel.
