Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience during my stay. The location is fantastic, just a short walk to the market and table land, making it convenient for exploring. The service was really attentive and helpful. However, I found the rooms to be quite dated and not worth the price I paid. On the dining front, it left much to be desired, with limited breakfast options. Overall, it's decent but could use some upgrades.
I had a lovely stay overall, with clean and spacious rooms that made me feel at home. The staff was cooperative and kind, which really added to the experience. However, I was hoping for some extra amenities that were missing, like hand towels and a directory for the intercom. The value for money could be better considering the lack of in-room entertainment like an LED TV.
I recently stayed at a hotel that had a lot going for it, especially with its beautiful gardens and family-friendly activities for kids. The rooms were quite basic and showed their age, which was a downside. The service was exceptional, catering to our needs while traveling with our young child. However, the dining options could use some improvement as we found them repetitive during our stay. Overall, it felt like decent value for the money considering the location and service.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms need a serious upgrade as they felt quite dated, but the service was excellent, with staff eager to assist. The location was peaceful and surrounded by beautiful greenery, which was a plus. However, the dining options were on the expensive side considering the quality. Overall, while there are some great aspects, a few major improvements are necessary for a better stay.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is really convenient, with a market just a short walk away, but I found the room to be in poor condition for the price I paid. On the positive side, the service was outstanding, especially the help from the front desk. While the dining options were decent, they could use some variety. Overall, it was a decent stay but not without its flaws.
