"Amazing place, very authentic, and it has everything you need in the kitchen/bathroom/laundry. Good communication and help from the staff. The area is very busy (and the unit doesn’t have good sound insulation) but at night is quiet and great for walking around/photography. No taxi access so it requires a bit of a walk to the street.

"We LOVED our room and the hotel as a whole. Our bathroom felt like a spa bathroom with the amazing deep soaking tub and intense water pressure. My only complaint would be that they made housekeeping really inaccessible (had to be requested AND you would have to leave your room for something like 3-5 hours???)This felt kind of extreme and a little cheap for such a wonderful property. Either way I highly recommend this hotel! "
