The outdoor seating area looks gorgeous. My Superior Double Room included two separate sinks. I found a rainfall shower there. Breakfast buffet offered many choices.
I note the towels could be softer.

I found the staff were so cute. They wanted to ensure I had the best possible experience. The location worked out wonderfully. It was a short walk to restaurants and shops. My room was indeed perfect. I will definitely return. I loved the quiet garden. It was ideal to relax in after a long day.
The absence of a mini-fridge did pose a minor inconvenience.

The hotel is close to the bus station . I enjoyed how clean the hotel and gardens were. My room was also lovely.
The hotel lacked some finesse , especially considering its price. The towels felt very poor quality. I had to carry my suitcases up a long staircase.

The location proved perfect. The hotel matched the descriptions perfectly. I received a larger room as an upgrade and it felt much more spacious, especially with two large windows.
My two-night stay began poorly. The first room I received was a disabled room with a small bed pushed against the wall. The bathroom had nowhere to put toiletries. There were no hooks for hanging items.
