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.

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.
