Disliked: Room comfort

Average at best

Pretty basic. No place to wash laundry which is an issue when you go hiking and do sports. No flyscreens; had to go go and buy something to get rid of mosquitos. Pictures look much nicer than it actually was. Property needs overhaul! I wouldn’t go back.

Very neat and clean. The room had everything we needed from tea/coffee to towels and even make-up remover. The bed was a little uncomfortable but that is due to my preferences of a firm mattress and pillow. All in all is was a great experience.

Traffic is very convenient and not noisy. The room is cozy and relax. Very recommend for others. The hot water and cold water are not mix in the bathroom face wash. Since that, it would be better to reduce the temperature of the hot water.

It was very tidy and well priced. The only issue i had was i arrived quite late, and the web sites phone number went to answer phone. Was unsure how to access our room, as there was no manager on site. Otherwise nice place and good value.
