I have traveled quite a bit and know enough to cook my own food while doing it.

Having the kitchen is a big deal for me…the apartment was very comfortable and quite close to an organic grocery store via scooter.

The staff was extremely friendly!…and the room rate was shockingly low.

Location: Not great, there’s not much around you and you have to taxi to everything, but they do have a mini mart by the street which came in really good handy for snacks and drinks.

Breakfast: I believe breakfast was included with the room. I wasn’t a big fan of it though, its set up on tables outside between a restaurant and the hotel, most of the food was uncovered and had flies on it. I tried it twice and ended up going to the mini mart for small breakfast items.

Front desk: I’ve never written about the people at the front desk before but I can’t say enough good things about them! They were very nice, and super helpful at explaining GrabTaxi and even helped me print a paper during my stay.

Overall: I wasn’t a huge fan of the location, breakfast, and the sewer smell in the kitchen was bad, but their rooms are nice, their staff is great, and the mini mart is a good alternative to breakfast if needed. I would likely stay here again but not sure if i could recommend it to someone that wants to stay near town.
