Nice little hotel with lovely staff and good value for money
Pros:

Very decent little hotel with lovely staff, 24/7 reception, and clean rooms with AC, TV and fridge. 10 mins walk into the center. Wifi working well. Breakfast basic (eggs + bread) but freshly made. For the price, fulfilled all our expectations.

Cons:

It's already quite on the edge of town and we were told not to go further to avoid shady corners. Not all rooms have a wardrobe / space to hang clothes nor a table where you can sit. Breakfast could use some variety. Pool area looks a bit neglected, we didn't go for a swim.
