My room was spacious with strong AC and a fan, and the high ceiling made it feel even bigger. Everything was spotless, and the staff were always happy to help.”
5.6Verified guest“Over Christmas the staff kept watching us with judgmental looks, and they interrupted a visit from a friend to check we weren't doing anything wrong. They also asked for tips, which made things awkward. That said, the location was fantastic near the famous sights and felt very secure.”
