Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very clean and comfortable property. Friendly staff. The property itself is safe. But it's tucked deep in small alleys.

Le wifi ne fonctionne vraiment pas bien. Le milieu environnant n’est pas sécuritaire, ni intéressant. Chambre trop petite.
