Great Hotel. very clean and very helpful owner. We stayed there only a few hours cause our flight was moved and we landed earlier than expected and needed a bed to sleep for some hours.Check in in the middle of the night was no problem and was very well organized thru WhatsApp.The room was VERY clean and they have a very modern and very clean bathroom.I can highly recommend the hotel.

This hotel has an amazing unique character with amazing unique décor. The location was great - an easy walk to the centre of Stone City along the waterfront promenade. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Tee breakfast was a great value and the view from the rooftop where the restaurant is located was amazing. Great value for money!
