Stars are deceiving, but for the kind of property this one is, it is great. The area where it is located has been somewhat run-down, yet it appeared to be safe, and with the exception of one beggar, we had no issues and walked everywhere (and it is close to buses, etc.) This is not a fancy place to stay, but the room was large and clean, the staff was very friendly, and when we were there, it was very quiet. And in contrast to many of the higher-priced places we stayed, this one has secure wi-if and an iron, both of which we greatly appreciated! We didn’t even have trouble getting hot water, which is something several reviews have mentioned. The main building does not have an elevator, but some rooms in the back do not need one. If a person needs luxury - food on site, concierge, bell hops - this is not the place; but if a clean, large room with secure wi-fi, snacks, and nice staff, works for you will like it.
