The place is a little quirky by modern standards, but the rooms were clean and the staff was friendly. This was a great place to stay since we were using the room to sleep and shower, not hang out. The location is close to amazing restaurants and bars, with local pricing, not tourist traps. Would highly recommend.
This hotel is in a great location. Close to buses and a bank on the corner. We loved being in the Versailles neighbourhood with so many excellent places to eat and drink. The hotel itself is a little bit run down but the pool area is lovely and the rooms are large and clean. Staff is great. We liked that we could hang out by the pool on our last day til we left for the airport. There is morning coffee in the lobby. You can purchase breakfast which we did one morning and it was excellent. The street is a bit noisy but we had a balcony and we loved that. Great value for money.
Love it. Thats such a nice hotel. Like services, swimming pool, staff and love to lobby etc.
Older hotel that has had a bit of a refurb, I kind of liked that but I could see it not being everyone's cup of tea. Great view from my room No wifi on the 4th floor which also meant the smart tv didn't work. I liked the location, some great restaurants close by.
I stayed here a night, I think it’s good for what it’s worth: great location, Pamala at reception was awesome and nice. The rooms and hotel itself is older and not posh, but you are paying a lower price. The pool is nice and the rooms and beds are comfortable and clean. I had a brand new A/C unit in my room. I would stay here again. I do recommend taking your valuables with you as there is no lock safe in the rooms.
Good place to stay for a night, close to main street so a bit noisy but room very basic but clean and confortable. Watch out when booking with Booking, you might not get what you reserve: i was suppose to have living room and a bedroom got kind of 2 bedroom…
Truly excellent service from every member of reception staff! They're really helpful, friendly, and are full of tips on how to get to know PV. 24/7 coffee and drinking water refills are a nice touch. Wifi mostly works but is a bit glitchy at times and doesn't reach all rooms... which means the tv doesn't always work as it needs wifi for streaming. Rooms are comfortable enough, and very clean, just a little tired due to the age of the building. Linens, towels etc all good quality and like new. The pool area is nice and tranquil, and breakfast is good. I like the location - close to bus stops, banks, and the nice cafes etc around the Versalles neighbourhood - but although it didn't disturb me at all, if you're a very light sleeper it's worth noting that you may hear traffic etc at times.
The hotel was good. The best options of we are talking about price=quality. I can recommend it for people who come not to stay in the room, but spend a lot of time outside. Personally I like the place, and will return here in the future.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
