Let me start with the good: the staff are very helpful and friendly, the room was nicely appointed, roomy, and clean. The hotel is close to restaurants and cafes. Unfortunately, the area that the hotel is in is covered in graffiti and while it’s not unsafe, it certainly doesn’t make a good impression when you arrive. You also may not be able to get a taxi or car directly to the hotel depending on the time of day. We were dropped off a couple of blocks away by our taxi and really struggled to find the hotel as there was only a big metal door (with graffiti all over it) and a small sign. Eventually we found the intercom and the staff opened the gate. Once we got in we liked the hotel, but we were not prepared for how rough the area was.
