Reviews

Trudy 8/10

Canada 🇨🇦

Overnight for bus

Pros: Location close to the bus terminal. Very responsive to messages. Arranged a late night taxi from the airport. Bed and pillows alright. Breakfast had choices and coffee was good. Fridge in the room although was unplugged and we didn't try it. Our room didn't have a window but due to street noise was probably a good thing. Thought the hotel was great value for our purpose.

Cons: Air conditioner had a noisy fan

Pros: Very central location, near the squares, local indoor market. All the staff at the reception and dining room were very friendly and nice. Breakfast (included in our price of the room) was good. The room had even a fridge and a safe.

Zara 9/10

Pros: For the price and purpose (overnight stay before a flight) this was a perfect hotel. Building looks run down but the rooms themselves are nice with very comfortable bedding, air conditioning, and nice bathroom. The free breakfast in the morning was delicious. In the downtown area which was noisy when outside but we didn’t have any trouble sleeping once in the room (and I’m a very light sleeper).
