10/10 Excellent

The room was big, enough to fit 4 luggages. Location is fantastic, walkable to a lot of food and shopping places. The best thing was, there was a kettle in the room😂 I like to make my own tea and coffee etc The two previous hotels we stayed at during the same holiday did not have one. Price was affordable too, at time of stay. Will definitely recommend this hotel.
