Arban Hotel

Arban Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed in a spacious, clean, well kept room. We loved how much space we had to spread our belongings. We also appreciated having a bathtub in the bathroom. Just know that there is no door to the bathroom, but there is a door to the toilet stall. The hotel is in a perfect location. Within a walking distance to all the restaurants and shopping, but it's quiet enough at night. "
