I stayed at this place briefly to do the Indian Nose hike. Just note that you need to walk through a weird alley to get there and is located next to a super loud party hostel. I really liked the top floor hangout area though.

I only stayed 3 nights. I love how it's easy access to everything 5-10mins from the dock. Lots of tour companies in the area. The cleaners are amazing but the front staff are always gone. Laundry service 💯. 2nd washroom is in the kitchen so u have to pass by others. No social activities when i was there. Barely see people. Has roof top views. Finding the place is a bit challenging. It's an alley but felt safe as it's also surrounded by houses. Be ready as the roads are up/down hill :)
