This hotel offers great value for money, being budget-friendly yet nicely located near shops and restaurants. The rooms are clean and comfy, and while the service is decent, the limited number of towels can be a hassle. The noise from the street can be an issue, but overall it's a solid choice for short stays.

This hotel is a great budget option, conveniently located near shopping and dining establishments. The room was clean and comfortable, and the water pressure was impressive for a budget place. However, the allocation of only one towel per room could be improved, and the hotel doesn't accommodate more than two guests. Overall, it offers excellent value for money.

My stay was a mixed bag. While I found the hotel very clean with helpful staff, I had a very unsettling incident where my belongings were rummaged through, which left me feeling uneasy. The room was decent for the price, but I would advise keeping valuables with you at all times. Overall, it’s budget-friendly, but the security issue was a significant drawback.
