Staff were friendly and helpful, the room was amazing. I loved the setup having the bedroom separate to the lounge. Pressure for the shower was absolutely amazing, bed was a little hard but got comfortable in the end. Due to security reasons visitors are not allowed which is not stated on the site however the receptionist was willing to allow my family to come through. Highly recommended.

Check-in was easy, staff member at reception was lovely :) Bed was comfy, shower was great, AC was very welcome in the humidity! A bit of dust and such in the places that aren’t easily accessible (high window behind kitchenette cabinets for example). I had access to a wee courtyard, but the large pavers underneath the seating need some stabilising, every time I moved they shifted which was rather alarming. Overall it was great value for money for an overnight stay, would happily stay again :)

Pleasantly surprised. Our room was clean and tidy. Shower looked new and everything worked. We traveled with kids who used the sofa bed. I like that there was a separate TV in the main bedroom. The whole property inside was clean, air conditioned and well kept. Parking was easy and close.

The room wasnt cleaned properly as there was reciepts and rubbish left under the couch from the last guest. The shower had a good strong pressure which was nice and reception gave plenty more toiletries, as they are only small bottles, so we could wash our long hair.
