Easy self check in, good communication, prompt replies, very clean, lovely room. There is construction right across the street so it was noisy when window was open, but the construction stops at 5 pm and all is well. Alva hotel is close to everything so a good location. We really enjoyed our stay! 👍👍👍

The room was warm and comfortable. Access to major routes was easy and free parking in the close neighbourhood. There were three supermarkets within easy walking distance and a very good food court close by.

Location - great. Response from offsite staff - quick and helpful. Parking - need more info for foreigners. Shower - too small and step down is dangerous.

This was a very nice hotel with contactless check in. Very comfortable with free parking. Also a great restaurant downstairs that we would highly recommend. We arrived late — about 9 pm due to delayed flight. The chef was just leaving when we got there and closing the kitchen. However, he stayed for us and made us a delicious dinner!

Was a nice place for a quick stop over. Note to the owner: the bathroom smelled like mildew. You need to change the shower curtain.

There wasn’t a front desk but the hotel operated so smoothly with everything you needed in the room or in the linen closet. I would recommend and stay here again it was within walking distant from a few shops

Clean, simple, comfortable rooms - perfect if you are on the go traveler and just want a clean quiet place to sleep. About 10 minutes walk to the main activity area of town - straight down the street. Right by a grocery store and a healthy restaurant called Loving Hut. I was hesitant about not having a live front desk but they respond to emails super fast and the codes worked great. I didn't try the attached restaurant. Note: if you have trouble finding on google maps it was called 22 Hill before.
