The staff were so welcoming and helpful. The hotel itself was great and the bed was very comfortable. I would not recommend this location for families especially with children, or anyone who is a light sleeper as it is very noisy at night. But if the noise doesn’t bother you, or you want to stay in a lovely neighbourhood - I would recommend staying at Nabu. Awesome choice for food options and it’s close to public transportation.

4 of us booked 2 rooms in this pedestrian walk to hotel. Private transfer dropped us off a little ways away and the hotel clerk met us and walked us a few minutes to the small quaint hotel in a bustling neighborhood. We had a tiny quaint room on the 3rd floor and our friends were on the 2nd floor. The tiny elevator fits only 1 or 2 people. Our room on the 3rd floor was quiet but our friend's room on the 2nd floor was noisey due to the many bars on the street. The buffet breakfast was wonderful and we all felt very safe in the area.

This property is centrally located and in a very walkable area near many attractions and options for dinner and drinks. The room was nice, clean, A/C worked well, and had a comfortable bed. Staff are helpful. The music from the nightclub is loud and goes late but we managed fine with ear plugs. I'm sure many other locations in the area have the same issue- not a deal breaker for us. The room type online said sleeps three, but it was only 1 bed so that was incorrect.
