Friendly host. Great price. Quaint little beach bungalow.

Bagrat

The only shortcoming of this place was the homeless guy loudly hallucinating under our window every night. Otherwise worth the visit and the payment - close to the beach & downtown, 5-10 minutes each. Plenty of eateries and stores around. Staff were kind and friendly, room service was on point. Recommended!

Despite its outdated amenities, the hotel staff exhibited a friendly demeanor. However, the carpet was noticeably soiled if one did not wear shoes. While the bedding was clean and of a softer quality, the toilet exhibited a loud noise during flushing. Overall, the stay was satisfactory for a single night.
