Good location. Comfortable room and bed. Breakfast was minimal: just bread items-needed to pay extra for anything more substantial.

A good place to stay with everything needed to sleep and recharge after a long day out. The breakfast starts at 6:30am. Don’t expect anything fancy, bread & pastries with coffee to keep you going for the morning.

Value for money- it’s great for budget travelers looking for inexpensive places to stay in. Don’t expect the bells and whistles. I’ve had to rent a towel for 1000 pesos, which is fine.

Stay away from this place
in two different rooms the bathrooms were leaking water all over, it's dirty, the breakfast is a joke (burned bread and one portion jam), the staff isn't friendly.

Convenient location to walk to main streets or lake. Most staff helpful though incorrect information caused a problem with my airport transport. Breakfast was very ordinary.
