The location is superb and it's a fascinating hotel filled with film trivia and memorabilia. The view from the room was excellent, overlooking the sea and it was very comfortable. The breakfast was basic, but there was the bonus of an egg station to have your eggs cooked to order.

beautiful boutique hotel at a wonderful location right in front of the famous & happening Gaya Street! the staff is very friendly & helpful. check in & check out is a breeze. the room is huge with super comfortable bed, excellent wi-fi, aircon & rain shower. the bathroom is beautiful. it has elevator even though it's only 3 floors high (which is a welcome relief for me who had huge & many luggages 😁). the housekeeping is timely & spot on.
