Stayed only two nights as we were really on our way to the Trans-Alpine. Perhaps we could've stayed at a fancier place but Tina's place meets all your needs. We arrived late and she had thoughtfully switched the lamps on and left the milk in the fridge and some biscuits! The second evening we wanted to get to a shop... More

I can recommend this motel whole-heartedly. Tina was lovely, allowing us to check in early after our long flight, and took the time to talk us through the map of the city. She also recommended a great Italian restaurant called Venuti, a few minutes walk down Colombo street. She also has a beautiful and very friendly cat! The room was... More

What more can one... More
