Excellent stay again (this was my second time)The location is perfect, a 5 min walk from Central train and bus station. The bed is huge and really comfy, everyone is so quiet. Everywhere is spotlessly clean. The kitchen and showers are excellent and all the staff are just lovely. Highly recommended.

I stayed there for my 15 hours of transit. I didn’t expect that much but the stay was far better than I expected. The rooms and facility were clean and neat, staff are welcoming and creating warm ambiance. I definitely visit the city and the place again in the future.
