This hotel was in a fantastic location, close to the shops, restaurants and wards. The bed was extremely comfortable and the shower was great to come back to after a long day of walking. The staff was friendly and housekeeping was diligent in making sure one had fresh towels everyday. We would definitely stay here if in the area again.

Nice little hotel in a great location. The staff was really wonderful and extremely helpful. Recommended a great teppanyaki place, and were able to get us a reservation even though that restaurant is very busy and popular, helped us with luggage forwarding and were willing to go out of the way to help with anything that was needed. Even though the rooms were a bit small, they were absolutely spotlessly clean with comfortable beds
