We stayed for a night as a family. The hotel was kinda outdated but we find it comfortable and clean. I am very keen to the smell and dust but I find the hotel very clean. The pillows are not flat, its soft and fluffy. The area is very close to where we need to visit. The area is close to many restaurants and cafe. Make sure to visit Lute Geute if you're a coffee lover. The lady at the reception was very sweet, i think her name is Fernande... will book again if we need to come back to this area again.
