“While its exterior might benefit from a fresh coat, the interior shines, especially with its superb front desk service. Its location, a short walk from shops and markets, is a definite plus for those wanting to explore the city center. I'd certainly consider staying again, especially if in-room safes are added for extra peace of mind when venturing to nearby islands.”
