The hotel is situated in a lively area with plenty of bars and restaurants, making it great for those who enjoy nightlife. The rooms were clean and had all the essentials, but they felt a bit small.

Service was a bit hit or miss. While the staff were friendly at times, I felt that they were more focused on outside services like hairdo's rather than attending to hotel guests. Pricing for additional services seemed too high for what was offered.

The hotel is in a fantastic location right in the backpackers district, surrounded by vibrant bars and restaurants. It’s also within walking distance of major attractions, but be prepared for some evening noise from nearby karaoke.

I stayed at this hotel and enjoyed its excellent location near the city center, making it easy to explore local attractions. The rooms were modern and comfortable, with a fantastic shower and reliable Wi-Fi, but they didn't quite match the polished pictures I saw online. The breakfast was basic but decent for the value, although I noticed some noise from the street and other guests during my stay. Overall, it’s a solid choice for tourists, especially if you don't mind a bit of nightlife.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is fantastic, right in the backpacker district with plenty of dining options. The rooms were clean and spacious, but I expected a bit more from the so-called ‘VIP’ experience. Service wasn’t the friendliest, and the dining options were pretty basic. Overall, it's a good spot for the price, especially if you're looking for convenience and nightlife.
