The location was great, its on the far side of stone town away from the noise of passing tourists and so quiet. The staff showed a spirit of care and were always ready to help. The room was very nice and clean and the bathroom was also very nice and clean

For the price this place was really great. It was a little hard to find but they reach out and give you contact details ahead of time. Its in a really central location but still quiet. Place was very clean and room was large. Had a shared bathroom which was cleaned often. Was only slightly more than a hostel but definitely a step up

It’s very close to the airport so great the night before a flight. It’s in a secluded area but very nice rooms. Staff are great and help you find the location and book a taxi at the right time.
