The only issue was the elevator. Several times it would be out of service. Everyone was very nice and helpful. Safe, clean, pleasant, quiet. Close to a lot of restaurants and attractions.

La propiedad esta super bien ubicada , el estudio es realmente hermoso y la atencion que te brinda el encargado SAIFUL es extraordinaria esta las 24 horas con el telefono en mano para que le escribas en caso que necesites algo, realmente te soluciona todo lo que esta a su alcance. La parte Negativa es que desde que hice el check in hasta que me fui NUNCA llego el jabon de mano y para bañarse, por lo tanto me tuve que comprar uno yo mismo. El WIFI cuando funciona es bueno , yo me aloje 3 noches y hubo momentos que fallo. Todo lo excelente que hace Saiful se viene abajo porque los dueños no apoyan todo el esfuerzo que el encargado hace. Si los dueños mejoran el lugar seria 10 de 10 , hoy le doy un 7 porque Saiful le pone ganas para que todo marche bien.

The room was lovely, the bed was comfortable but most importantly, the ceiling fan with the ac unit made it one of the best rooms we have had in the region. The shower is also fantastic.
