Pros:
Budget Friendly.
Central to everything!
Their partnerships with Tukan Shuttles and Adventures plus the Midas Hotel (Pool) made creating a memorable experience almost effortless.
Staff are friendly, kind, and truly take the time to know you. I feel like I have made genuine connections.
I felt safe the entire time I was there. The front desk always has someone there 24/7 to assist you - they even lock the main entrance gate after a certain hour for extra safety (don't worry, there is always someone there to let you in of you decide to stay out and enjoy the night life).
The facilities were excellent and having laundry services and a smart TV truly made it feel like home away from home.
Cons:
It can be loud. As the hotel is on the main street, you often can hear people laughing at the bars accross the street or in the park behind. Walls are not terribly thick so you may even hear your neighbor a time or two.
The TV remote was unreliable which was a shame as the TV itself has no way of operating it without the remote (staff did happily help me every time I had an issue though!).
Some of the beds are incredibly comfortable while others are solid/ hard. I was fortunate to have 2 beds in my room to choose though which made this less of an issue and more of something to note. (The beds might not be perfect but the staff again will do whatever they can to ensure you have a comfortable stay).
Overall, I would highly recommended The Venus Hotel.10/10 would stay again!
