The entrance to the hotel can be eslasily missed as it's between 2 shops. Head up the stairs to the 1st floor where reception is located.
Staff was friendly and courteous.
Room was comfortable, clean and spacious. A/c was on upon arrival.
I would stay here again
The room was very spacious compared to a regular hotel and was plenty warm enough. However the windows are only single glazed so noise gets in pretty easily if people are hanging about on the street below.
