    Fairly clean hotel, I really enjoyed especially helpful and wonderfully helpful staff. Though some of the staff were quirky, I had a really enjoyable stay. My a nice size room came with interesting decor, full length mirrors and free bottled water. The location was comfy yet it was easy walk to downtown area, just 5 minutes by foot. The restaurant was nice and served excellent food. Everything was simply nice.

    easy access to landmarks and vibrant dining options nearby

    I loved how the area was bustling and so convenient for exploring, especially with the Maiwand Lion and The Oracle just a few minutes' walk away. Plus, the cozy and clean room layout was a bonus for a restful stay and perfect for single travelers who appreciate a nice balance of comfort and adventure.

    uncomfortable mattress

    Had a lovely night in a clean room with fresh towels and comfy bedsheets. The terrace was nice for soaking up the sun, and the live music really added to the vibe. The mattress could've been better, but it didn't ruin our overall experience. 😊
