The beds were comfy and the showers were large enough to put your belongings in! Staff was friendly.

The room was good with the exception that both taps dripped all night but I could barely hear it over the noise from the celebration downstairs. ##### Maria Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### james Aug 1, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities No bed side lamps, Very bright room to sleep-in Very noisy ##### james Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Oct 2, 2023 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Friendly Staff, Not As Clean As I Prefer It was not for me. There's a hostel side and a hotel side, and the hostel side was kind of gross. I did not like that they didn't have a single full sized sink. Everything felt dirty, I never saw more than one cleaning lady handling all the rooms and bathroom and kitchen. The sheets and bedding were clean, the pillow was questionable. They do give you a towel, so that was nice. And the staff were really friendly and helpful. Overall though, I don't mind things not being perfectly clean, but I constantly felt like there was a small layer of grime over everything. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie Jan 16, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Very nice historical building ##### Julie Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Priyavanti Nov 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Clean room and helpful staff.
