clean poollimited menusmall gym

the staff were helpful. the hotel interiors and pool were well maintained and clean.

the lack of soundproofing was a problem. i could clearly hear conversations and noise from adjacent rooms, disrupting my sleep. the limited menu options became repetitive after a few days. the gym was also quite small with outdated equipment.

the staff were helpful .

The location proved inconvenient. Reliance on tuk-tuks became costly. the absence of a refrigerator in the room was a considerable oversight. no tv was provided for entertainment.

amazing experience near fort

clean roomrelaxing environmentunique experienceexpensive tuktuk

i found a hotel was near the fort. rooms are clean, also services are nice. it has a relaxing environment i like. antique additions make it unique. i recomend stay here if you want quiet.

for me, it was distant from many things. that means we need expensive tuktuks. if you eat out, shop, or go to beach, its extra expense.

remote locationmissing refrigerator

The location was a bit out of the way. This meant relying on tuk-tuks for transport (I was hoping to walk more). The room lacked a refrigerator and a television (a bit basic, I thought).
