Staff were fantastic, breakfast was delicious and the location was good as most places of interest were not too far and reachable within a 30 minute walk as well as a bus right at the hotels doorstep. Really nice greenery in the neighbourhood and local small shops which were so unique and interesting. Personally during my stay it was a tad noisy for me, and the room needed slight upgrading with fixtures attended to, other than that Oda hotel is very reasonable for price and location.
