    Value for money

We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The staff were friendly and efficient, making us feel welcome throughout our stay. The room, although obviously old, was clean and comfortable. It had a range of amenities including a fridge, microwave, and bath amenities, which were very helpful during our 4 nights stay. The location of the hotel was great, with multiple bus lines close by that could take us directly to various places such as downtown and the airport. Additionally, there were plenty of restaurants within walking distance, making dining options convenient.

Nothing, everything was great.

I had a fantastic stay in this city. The hotel was conveniently located on a major street, making it easy to get around using public transportation. It was also just a 25-minute walk to downtown, where I enjoyed a variety of tourist activities. The staff at the front desk were friendly, providing helpful information about the area. Additionally, I appreciated the amenities in the room, such as the mini fridge, microwave, and two beds. Although there were no extra pillows or blankets initially, the staff promptly provided me with four extra pillows and an additional throw blanket, making my stay even more comfortable.

Nothing to be said.

The hotel was clean and had all the necessary facilities. The staff were friendly and helpful. The location was convenient, within walking distance to several good restaurants and close to downtown.

Nothing, no complaints at all.
