I was a bit concerned about the area after reading some previous reviews, but staying in a gated hotel made us feel safe and comfortable. We spent most of our time exploring historical sites and only came back to the hotel to sleep.
The hotel was quiet and nice, with very few people around during our stay. The room was clean and had everything we needed, including a small fridge and a coffee maker. The staff were friendly and helpful, even though I only spoke with them over the phone!
