Room was simple and did the job, but can get a little warm especially in the summer. Breakfast was good too and location very convenient. Staff very accommodating, and kitchen a bit small for the number of people using it but has what you need to make a meal.

It is a good choice for traveller on a budget. I liked that they offered discounted tours for guests and made bookings really easy. The accommodations themselves weren’t the best, but for the price they’re truly value for money.
