Easy to find amid several shops and eating places. Mables next to the serving station does a superb homecooked breakfast and its cheap. Local workmen and natives go there. The room was good for a wheelchair user. The bath was low and the bathroom is large enough for manouvering. The receptionist and her boss were fountains of knowledge. All in all, we'd recommend this hotel
