Excellent price-quality rate. Very clean and comfortable room and bathroom - actually comparable to a 4 star hotel! Also the complimentary snacks and drinks as well as bathroom amenities, the fast wifi and the super friendly personnel were a pro. Good and safe parking in front of the rooms and location OK since restaurants were only 8 min away on foot.

Good location (3 bus stops from transit center, most supermarkets ~1 km away, grocery, pharmacy). Room very comfortable. Bathroom was very clean, room also clean. Staff was always there, extremely helpful and polite. Fast internet connection. Price was probably the best compared to other hotels in the area.

This is a budget hotel but knew that when I booked. As out sightseeing all day I just wanted a bed and some breakfast. This delivered. Very clean. Excellent staff. Yeah it’s dated but it was clean and suited me. Breakfast more than enough. Have booked to stay again at the end of my holiday.
