the place was not even open
The place was not open!! The police told us the owner was no longer there and was being investigated. We had to find alternative accommodation at our cost after a long trip from England

Great location and price
Perfect for my needs, great location between downtown and old town. Room was clean and well presented, check in was easy, recommended for a short stay but some may prefer private bathrooms for a longer stay

The location is great, it's right next to bus stop #1 making it easy to get picked up for tours. It is also within walking distance to get food and other things.

Here's what I hate about this place. They aren't open, and they took my money. I had to get a more expensive room at a nearby hotel. I want my money back, and I want Expedia and all the other agency's that list this place to remove it from their listing's.

Location extremely good, very clean and tidy. Checking in and out system could be better, mostly faceless front desk.
