I love the location and its proximity to public transport and tourist attractions. The staff were also lovely. ##### Jan Kelvin Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jul 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### As we need Just spend a night.

Very positive attitude despite the people checking in, in front of us being very difficult. No letting it out on others just very patient and friendly and professional. Wish I could have gotten her name to give the best word on her. Carpet is a little worn as well as some smudges on the walls here and there but you could tell it was from natural wear and tear. Otherwise everything was impeccably clean and the breakfast was very neat and filling. Would gladly stay here again. It was super convenient and walking distance from public transportation and cathedral was a 15 minute walk and you could stroll through the shopping strip or the old square on the way. ##### Solange Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandra Oct 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Lovely hotel, full of history, very close to centre.

Only one lady with light coloured hair and a guy was friendly, the other 3 ladys i met behind reception were very arrogant and not welcoming. Rooms were dated but fine to sleep in! Hotel itself is quite nice. The breakfast was ok not great needs more options. ##### Thomas Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Fran May 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Close to the centre.

Also the bathroom was so small i couldn't of used the toilet ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lloyd Jun 25, 2025 #### Modest accommodations Property photos look much nicer than actual hotel. Hotel felt more like a nice hostel. Located next to exotic shops and cinema. Nice weather during my stay so not having air conditioning was not too big of an issue. Restroom plumbing had a poor smell. Accommodations worked but I think it is overpriced for what you get. ##### Lloyd Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Brooke Aug 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Decent hotel in a good area.
