"Very kind and accommodating staff. Was able to check me into my room early and let me keep my bags in storage before I checked in and after I checked out while I was waiting to go to the airport. Because the hotel is right next to the ocean the wind is very strong and it can get really loud. I had a hard time sleeping because it can be a little intense/ intimidating at first. I only stayed for one night but if I stayed for longer I think it would have been easy to adjust. There is a cafe in the...

"The staff at this hotel were excellent and they do care for their customers. We were however checked in very late past the official time and one room did have a issue with the sink in the bathroom on the last day which lucky for me, didn't really impact the stay. Location is great and the mountain views are amazing in the morning. "

"The Propert was very clean. Its actually a flat let. It has a small kitchen with fridge, a table, sofa separate to the bedroom. The only thing I want to call out is it’s very snug especially the shower. The shelf in the shower is to high for short people and no sufficient hooks to hang face clothes or towels. The bath towel is average. For a bigger person (size 12 and up), this be be annoying. Other than that. It was nice and quiet. Mojo Market was on the door step for food and drinks. We...

"The place has a very good and friendly vibe and very nice attentive staff! My room No 2 was not the best as it has a big window facing the terrace of room No 1 so there is not much privacy. However, it is a very good location with many restaurants and the promenade nearby. It also is a cozy and comfortable place and good value for money! Would stay again but would try a different room."

"Beautiful new property. Location excellent to explore market and muslim section but evening can look bit scary as there are homeless around. I wouldn’t mind staying rather here and take Uber around that is about $4 to go anywhere around town and be in nice property than to be at Waterfront that is located close to the restaurants but is very wore down. Loved this hotel"
