Staff was sweet.They were always helpful and professional. The only thing I didn't like was the parking spaces. Because this is also a bar &restaurant the parking spots sometimes full. We had a rental car and we didn't want to park it anywhere else but the hotel. Other then that I enjoyed my stay. Thank you so much.

This place is in a great location and has so much old world charm that it could be a great hotel. But it's run down, lots of broken things, and not clean enough for most Americans.

Staff was very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The A/C in the room was wonderful because it was really hot outside. The room was also very spacious. The WiFi however was weak and would go on and off. There is a Chinese restaurant downstairs for convenience and other shops and downtown are within walking distance.

Craig

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
The staff were excellent but the room was not too great. TV was cracked and unusable. Tea and coffee facilities but no bottled water or milk provided. Restaurant good and breakfast pleasant. No sleep possible firstly due to there being a karaoke session from a nearby place that finally ended at 615am. Then loud talking and laughing in the corridor and adjacent room. Will not stay here again.

Rundown hotel.
We stayed two times for one night so in total two nights. Very rundown hotel. Few stains on the sheets and towels. On our first night no hot water. Ac remote was only in Chinese. Second night the room was pretty clean and the shower had warm water. But the toilet was not working.

We booked rooms next to each other, but this was not an option when we arrived. Asked to move room on last day to facilitate a late booking from someone else but had to refuse this request which seemed unreasonable. Room itself was great - large and comfortable with excellent balcony with a sea view as advertised.
