Great place great value.
My only gripe is can they please not make a big deal about getting another set of towels after a week ( 2 week stay)
I don't think requesting towels if you stay a while is a big deal.
Otherwise stay was awesome.

Stayed in a double ensuite room for one night and found the room to be extremely spacious, clean with everything you need - fan and air con for those hot nights. Loved the quietness of the place at nice for a good nights sleep and being on the Esplanade, it is a short walk to the beach, restaurants, bars and shops. Would definitely stay here again.

The staff are very helpful and nice, as well as the accommodation. 100% come back and recommend my friend.
The only thing is, for someone who doesn’t like noisy place, it may be too much noise as this building is middle of the city and shower room is placed in the room. Anyway they provide complimentary earplugs.
