The location is perfect and very near the bus station which we had to use to get back to the airport. The staff are exceptionally nice and helpful and the hotel itself is very clean. A suggestion is to tell guests to leave the card in the slot if you want the aircon to stay on. I do really like how quirky the hotel is and I remember it as good as it was when I stayed 3 years ago. I do think the string lights in the room are looking old.....but thats just my opinion.
