100% Value for money. Simplicity but at the same time functional. Great location, clean and cherful. A bit small but undestandable given what we paid for a night.
Everything was awesome! Staff so friendly and helpful. Room small but for solo travelers is fine! Very clean room and location is perfect! I can't wait to get back soon!
