About

It is a 2-star property with 24-hour reception, non-smoking rooms and free Wi-Fi, making it a practical choice for travellers who want to be in the middle of things without paying a premium.
The building centres on a courtyard that guests describe as a peaceful retreat from the street. Rooms are simple and clean, with flat-screen TVs, free toiletries and a fan for cooling.

Worth weighing
5 to weigh- No air conditioning — Rooms rely on ceiling or standing fans. Most guests found this adequate, but heat-sensitive travellers should plan accordingly.
- Strict check-in window — Check-in is only between 13:00 and 18:00, which may be tight if you arrive late.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so you’ll need to make alternative arrangements if travelling with an animal.
- On-site parking not offered — There is no hotel parking; guests mention nearby public parking, but it isn’t guaranteed or reserved.
- Value category scores lower than other aspects — While reviewers call it good value, the value rating (7.3) is the lowest category, suggesting expectations should be tempered.
