We enjoyed our 2 night stay here. They describe themselves as a cross between a boutique hotel and a hostel and that is about right. Our room was clean and very comfortable

This place is overrated and overpriced for what it offfers. Rooms are ok, large tv, fridge and a/c, however cold air come from the windows. The breakfast was poor and definitely overpriced. The staff was very young, generally friendly and kind but could see lack of professional training. Overall an ok stay but value provided not worth the money.

Do NOT stay here if you want any sleep or quiet. The bar next door has a late licence, and has extremely loud music on till at least 2am. There is no watning of this, but even if a hotel doesnt want to broadcast that kind of negative aspect, the least they can do is a) improve the sound proof in rooms including sounfproof/light reducing curtain or blind and b) put carpet on staircase which is in use 24/7 (think drunk people at 3am stomping/clattering up uncarpeted stairs just behind the wall where your bed is). Awful night. At least warn guests!!

Needs work
The “full size” bed was two twin beds pushed together with mattresses that looked older than me and a mattress topper that looked equally old and used so was extremely uncomfortable. The air conditioning didn’t work at all and the windows wouldn’t stay open. The wifi didn’t work in the room nor did cell service which was very frustrating because I wasn’t able to plan the next day of my trip in my room at night. Definitely for a much younger crowd.

the room was forgotten to be cleaned on the first day. the room is located in another building which is sharing the same floor with the toilets of bar. unfortunately it smells. because of the customers, it was noisy. highly disappointing experience...
