9.4/10 Exceptional! (162 reviews)

Check in was very easy. The hotel is basically just one story within a bigger building, but it’s very quiet and comfortable. The smallish room was spotless with one full bed and two additional bunk beds. Small but very clean bathroom and a small lobby stocked with coffee, tea and fruit juices. The clerk was very polite and helpful. The area is very busy but the hotel is absolutely silent. We had a very comfortable stay.
