Great location for exploring the town. I stayed in a ground-floor room near the front desk. The room faced the street, so I could hear people passing by, which made me a little nervous at first—but since it’s set further down the lane, it never felt like people were right outside my window, and it was nice and quiet at night. The staff were really friendly—when I was struggling with the entrance door key, they kindly came to help. Breakfast is served at a nearby restaurant, which was a nice touch. Thank you!

The property is conveniently located at the center of everything which is good and also not so good because of the constant noise day or night. I took the breakfast option, not so impressed because the choice is limited. The rooms are simply furnished but clean and comfortable. The property manager was super helpful, she went above and beyond to make sure that my stay worry free. I cannot say enough about the housekeeper, she is super nice and efficient. My biggest thing is the internet that was basically non existent except in the lobby. Otherwise the place is clean, staff friendly, helpful and welcoming, the area is safe. I wouldn't mind staying there again, I recommend it.

I loved the charm of the old building. Breakfast was included and was very good. The famous Lukmaan restaurant is right around the corner. There is a mosque across the alley, so you will hear the call to prayer unless you’re a heavy sleeper. There is also street noise but it usually gets quieter the later it gets. There is no parking. Make sure the taxi driver points out the building because it’s very nondescript. Overall a great place to stay.
