Tbere was a black mold on the ceilling in the bathrooms. You can hear the music all night long. Pictures are highly edited, it looks worse in real life. Pool is tiny and filthy. Fridge in one room barely worked, and the one in another room froze our drinks

It was a great stay on budget. Right beside the clubs, restaurants, and market. 3 mins walking distnace to the beach. The front desk staff were super nice. The check in was very quick and so was the check out. Also, the housekeeping found our beach clothes in the bathroom and handed over wihin 2 mins while we were checking out. I'd love to stay again next time.

This is a cute little boutique hotel. The staff is extremely friendly & professional. The rooms are cozy, clean & has all the essentials. I was very happy with the services I received. The location is great & easily accessible (within walking distance) to all the shops & restaurants. Great value for the money.

The hotel is boutique style, placed just next to two nightclubs. My room was big and comfy. The shower was good. However, the noise and music and night were unbearable.

Great staff, hard to sleep due to loud nearby club

The staff and the property is great. The hotel is also located near everything. The only issue is the loudness of the nearby club. It’s hard to sleep until the music stops at 3am.

Perfect location

Right in the center of town, and one block to the beach. Nightclubs nearby play loud music until 3 am, and then you can sleep until noon. Maybe not the best for families looking for quiet time, but great for singles and couples. I would stsy here again.

This is a great hotel if you like to party for free! You will have access to loud music until 3 or 4 AM from the bars around the corner. I got the room on the roof, the stairs were in very bad condition. I wonder why the hotel advertised that they have a swimming pool when they really have a sink...
