"Great location - to all the major attractions. Breakfast was very good. Only minor drawback was that the AC didn’t cool the room as much as we would have liked. It was alright but our location on the top floor closet to the roof may have posed more of a challenge for the central AC system."
"We loved our stay at World House Boutique Hotel! Great central location for exploring the city, wonderful staff and lovely accommodations. Very happy with our experience, thank you!"
"This was a small hotel, but it was very clean, and the staff was helpful, friendly, and welcoming. The location is okay, but definitely not the best. I know the area is safe, but I still personally did not feel comfortable walking back to the hotel alone.
The rooms are on the smaller side, but they were clean and well-maintained. Overall, it was a pleasant stay with great service from the staff."
"A very cute boutique style hotel. Lovely room decor, with outdoor space and outdoor furniture. Ample storage space, large bathroom with quality toiletries and amenities, great room lighting. Staff very helpful and friendly - arranged rooms for us upon arrival despite check in about 6 hours later. Highly recommend"
