Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is centrally located in the bustling town center, making it convenient to explore the area; however, the restaurant not opening was a drawback. The rooms feature a large, comfortable bed, but the bathroom had a minor leak and a shower instead of a bath, though the shower was spacious. The value for money was decent considering the amenities provided.
The hotel is right in the center of town, with a comfy bed in the room and a make-your-own pancake machine for dining. The service was excellent with many herbal tea options available. However, the location was a bit noisy, and the facilities were average.
The hotel is centrally located in the city center just beside the bus station, offering convenience for travelers. The rooms are spacious with a huge bed, but the bathroom had a minor leak issue. The service was attentive and friendly, adding a personal touch to the stay. The herbal and alternative tea selection in the dining area was a nice touch, although the price for some items was a bit high. Overall, a comfortable stay with a few minor issues.
