In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Guests repeatedly praise the staff — Reviewers describe them as friendly, helpful, and always available — a consistent theme across nearly every stay.
  • Breakfast is a standout — Croissants, rolls, and juice are mentioned as exceptionally good for what you get — and it's included.
  • Location near airport and old city — A short hop from the airport, just down the road from the city walls, and close to the nightly food market and Saturday street market.
  • Modern, stylish design — Guests describe a trendy vibe, tasteful styling, and open-air balconies, with clean and comfortable rooms.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Shared bathrooms in several room types — Only some private rooms include their own bathroom; the dorm and several doubles rely on shared facilities.
  • Small scale — 12 rooms only — A compact property, so availability may be limited and on-site facilities are minimal beyond the café and breakfast area.
  • No pets allowed — The policy explicitly prohibits pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Check-out window is early and short — Check-out runs from 04:00 to 12:00, which may be tight for those wanting a leisurely morning.
