What a pleasure to stay in a hotel where it's not a corporate clone, but still clean efficient and very friendly. From the website, which gives all the information you need to judge the hotel, through the greeting at the main desk it was a very pleasant experience. I had seen the hotel mentioned in various guides and articles and... more

Stained sandpaper towels, views of the ghetto, no hot water at times, run-ins with local crack-heads and drunks, limited local eating establishments with clean environments (unless you like to walk through cigarette butts and dirty napkins to get to your table), horrendous customer service, problematic wireless network, tattered rugs and too-thin walls.

Situated close to the city Centre, this quaint hotel is ideal for a business visit especially when you are travelling by yourself.

Also we would have prefered to have more of a separate bathroom - not too keen... more

we stopped for one night at Abalu and thought it was terrific! Brilliant breakfast, a stylish place with helpful staff. What more can one ask for. more

Nice hotel, friendly staff, good location. Only downside: our "bathroom" was a shower & washbasin in the room. So if you're not used to showering & dressing in front of your travel compagnon, that might be a problem. The toilet was seperate. Overall, the rooms are small, the closet not very accessible, but a nice place to stay for a... more
