Satisfactory Stay

antique furniturefriendly staffcramped room
The architecture was beautiful and the furniture antique. The rooms were large with comfortable beds and nice bathrooms. The lady serving breakfast offered a charming smile, and the staff was really good. Nhilima, Benny, and another gentleman were all friendly and helpful.
The standard room felt very cramped for two people. The swimming pool is more of a plunge pool, unsuitable for proper swimming. I find these issues relevant.

The location is central. I could easily walk to nearby attractions. The breakfast was served outdoors, right in the courtyard. The staff seemed friendly and always ready to assist.
My room was on the ground floor. It felt quite cramped for two people. The swimming pool is small. It is more of a plunge pool. The pool felt unsuitable for swimming a proper lap.
