Great location, quiet, away from the busy streets yet close enough to walk to all shops and tourist attractions in town. Lovely pool to cool off in, nice to have towels provided. Close to nearby restaurants and takeaway outlets. Easy walk to public bus stops, botanic gardens and the Mindal Beach Market. Only downside was breakfast, expensive and not very nice. Apart from that we would definitely stay here again and would recommend Vitina Studios for excellent budget accommodation.
