The rooms are nice, but if you are a light sleeper you’ll be kept up by the backpackers drinking and partying just below your front door til way past midnight and then woken up in the early morning as some guests cook and eat breakfast in the kitchen right there. ##### Abhijit Stayed 1 night in Feb 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Kaye Feb 2, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The room was fine.
