The property is in a good location however the bathroom was disappointing. The power point for the hot water system was hanging out of the wall with the wires exposed in the shower cubicle, this system did not heat the water up either even after being on for 2 hours. The shower head was damaged so that the water came out of the pipe and not the shower head. Staff seemed uninterested whenever approached and often not helpful.
The room was just fine, it was very small and the light in the bathroom didn't work. However, everything else worked and the room was clean with cute decorations when I got there. The check in process was slow and confusing, people did not seem to know what to do with me. However, I eventually got in. Breakfast is on a beautiful rooftop patio overlooking all sides of stonetown with very nice people cooking you custom ordered food (from a few options for the day). They also have hot milk and hot water with tea and coffee available. The decorations were a bit eclectic, which was kind of fun. The location is right on a main walking street and there is a tourist shop in the lobby.
Room was great. Did not end up with a shared bathroom. Had hot water heater and large attached restroom. Air conditioner was very cold. Staff was friendly and even helped with laundry for a fee. Location right downtown and building was one of the tallest in town which makes for excellent view from the rooftop for breakfast. Breakfast was also quite nice.
Location for the price cannot be beat. Rooms well cleaned. Breakfast very good. Nice shop on main floor. Helpful staff butCould have been more helpful in giving details about excursions.
