Overall I had a good experience at Hotel District Republique. I was not able to check in early but the hotel was able to hold my bag before and after checking in and out. The people at reception were really helpful and gave me a map and suggestions of things to do. My complaints were that the room I booked based on the images was not the room I got and the air conditioning (which I made a point of booking a hotel with AC) did not work at all my first night, making it very uncomfortable. I was only informed about this the next day. The area is walkable but a bit far to tourist things but it’s in a less touristy and busy area which is nice.
