I had a rather mixed experience at this hotel. The location is fantastic, putting you right in the heart of everything. However, the rooms and overall facilities are quite dated and could use a serious refresh. I found the lack of basic amenities, such as working air conditioning, to be really disappointing. Overall, while the location is a major plus, the condition of the hotel left much to be desired.

The facilities were seriously lacking; the pool was cloudy and unsafe, and there were numerous broken amenities. Not what I'd expect.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was fantastic and really close to everything, which was a huge plus. The rooms were clean but pretty dated, and while the staff was friendly and helpful, the air conditioning was a major letdown. It would be nice if they updated a few things, especially for the price they're asking.

5.6/10

The hotel is right in the middle of everything, which made it super convenient to explore the area. While the check-in was a breeze and the staff was pleasant, the condition of the rooms left much to be desired. The air conditioning didn’t work well, and we had to go through some hassle to get fresh towels. For the price we paid, I expected a bit more in terms of comfort and amenities.

I had a range of experiences at this hotel. The location is really ideal, being close to everything, which made exploring easy. However, the room conditions left much to be desired with outdated furniture and a poor air conditioning unit. The service was disappointing as well, with some staff seeming distracted. If you're looking for value for money, I wouldn't recommend this place.

My stay at this hotel was quite disappointing. While the location was central and convenient, the condition of the hotel left much to be desired. The air conditioning was not effective, and I found it strange that I had to carry dirty towels down to the front desk just to get clean ones. The dated facilities didn’t help either, making it feel more like a budget stay than a comfortable retreat.

Rooms

The rooms were dated, and there was a noticeable smell throughout the hotel. Overall, I would rate them a 4 out of 10 due to the lack of upkeep.

The facilities, including the pool, were not well-maintained. I couldn't see the bar stools at the swim-up bar due to the cloudy water, which was really disappointing. I rate the facilities as a 2 out of 10.
