8.2/10 Very Good! (571 reviews)
The hotel was quite cute, in a very old style, but was not run down. The lifts had doors you need to manually close, which was pretty cool, although if someone forgets to close the doors when they leave, the lift will not operate until someone closes them, which could mean climbing 4 flights of stairs to your room.
The location is superb, next to a 24-hour Carrefour and the subway station, so it was quite convenient when travelling by subway. There is also a vehicle stop area right outside the hotel, which makes it super convenient to wait for Ubers.
The room was decently clean, and it had aircon, which was a god-sent in the BsAs heat. There is not much by way of amenities, but it was comfortable enough.
The staff were really unfriendly though, and didn't smile much and were not very helpful. The front door is always kept locked and you need to catch the attention of the receptionist to open the door, but they're not always at the front desk, so you may have to wait and knock on the door for a while before the receptionist appears. That wasn't great when we were rushing back to grab our bags to go to the airport..
