I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, although well-equipped with a bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom, felt tiny and crammed. However, the hotel's laundry service and proximity to good restaurants and bars make it a convenient choice for families traveling with kids, even though sharing the bathroom with others might be a drawback.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room was a bit small, and I had to deal with mosquitoes when I opened the window for fresh air. It got quite hot in the room without a fan in the scorching 36°C heat. On the flip side, the service was excellent, with a beautiful setting that included a charming pool, rooftop area, and a cool cafe. The location was good for getting around, although it wasn't in the heart of the old town. The dining experience was enjoyable, especially with the option to have breakfast until late at the on-site cafe. However, the noise levels and lack of heating in the room were significant drawbacks.
