10/10 Excellent

"Great place, clean and great staff. Would stay there again!"

Hotel Becket, BW Signature Collection

8/10 Good

"The carpet needs proper cleaning, the refrigerator is too small that the bottled water barely fits and it it took hours to make our drinks cold. We were expecting to have a microwave oven in our room but none. Beds, airconditioning unit and breakfast was good. Location is perfect. Just need a little walking to restaurants, souvenier shops. Safe place."
