The staff at Central Blanche Residence are some of the friendliest staff I have met on my travels - the reception team, the cleaners, the waiters and waitresses - I haven't a bad word to say about any of them. They all went out of their way to check in, say hello, and ask you how you were. I felt right at home!
My bed was really comfy and the room itself was spacious and overlooked the pool. I did have a gecko visit me on one ocassion, but he soon scampered off.
The hotel is about a 15-20 minute walk from Pub Street, but there are plenty of tuk tuks available if you don't want to make the trek. I myself didn't use them, but I think they're usually priced between $1 - $2.
