I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, located conveniently just outside the main market and close to public transportation. The rooms were clean and featured two big comfy beds, which made for restful nights. The friendly staff were very accommodating to my requests, but the lack of air conditioning made the room a bit warm at times. Overall, the value for money is quite good, especially considering the homemade breakfast options.
