The positives.... the place is in an ideal location. Close to markets, restaurants and lots of shopping options. The little lane is buzzing with activity and the room has a small balcony looking down onto the lane. The bed is very comfortable and it’s great to have a private bathroom. Traveling alone I also felt very safe. Sophia is very helpful and replies to messages promptly.
Things that could be better.......
The air con makes a terrible buzzing noise roughly every half hour so it has to be off at night. You can’t sleep with the door to the lane open because of the noise. It was therefore a very stuffy night’s sleep.
The photos give the feeling of a well kept tip top room but when you arrive it’s not the same feeling. The room is “tired” and not well maintained. The shower is luke warm and difficult to shower in without getting the bathroom wet. The toilet blocked and didn’t flush for my first day. Luckily the drains were emptied by street maintenance guys the following morning and it worked after that. The steps are very steep and the are MANY of them. There is no lift and it’s almost impossible to get luggage up and down the narrow staircase.
I wouldn’t stay there again.
