The hotel sits right by a bus stop. Made getting around simple. The staff kindly changed our room. It was on a lower level as we carried large luggage.

The room faced a busy avenue. Frequent bus arrivals made it noisy. Constant fan use helped mask outside sounds. This did not solve the problem entirely.

A Basic Stay, Some Issues

The hotel is right next to the bus stop. You can get to the city center easily.

The room lacked air conditioning, uncomfortable during warm weather. Sleeping with the window open was difficult because of the noisy road outside.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The lady at the desk gave us all the information we needed about transport and recommended restaurants. The bus stop IS conveniently located right in front of the hotel, made getting to the main station VERY easy.

I found the breakfast selection quite limited for the price. Raw eggs were offered, alongside bread, cereal, and yogurt. I think I could have found a better deal at a bakery for a sandwich.
