Very centrally located with well-maintained rooms in this hostel-style accommodation. However, there's noise pollution from the nightlife surrounding the property, so it's less suitable for light and early sleepers, especially on weekends. Breakfast is very extensive.

Above and close to bars/restaurants. The room was comfortable and a good location in the centre, it was quiet. The hotel provides pod coffee, which is good.

Very friendly hotel, everything was perfectly arranged. The location is wonderfully central in a nice neighborhood. It can be noisy in the evening with guests dining below your window, but that didn't bother us. They even provide earplugs, which shows how thoughtful they are.

There are plenty of restaurants nearby. what is more nice is that we were able to cook breakfast in our hotel room!everything that we need are there like iron for clothes, hair dryer etc. the staff were also nice.

Backpacker vibes in a hotel setting. I really like that! Conveniently located in the center. Despite the heat and noise from outside, you can sleep peacefully and cool inside thanks to the ceiling fan.
