“As expected, good place to stay in for few days.”

8.0

02 Mar 2025

There were just few people when I was there (almost the only one if I don't count the staff), so it was very calm and silent. Also, because a lot of rooms were unused, they gave be a better room for the same price, with a fan and mosquito net. I truly appreciated that! Clean place, and near the city center. They also do meals for lunch and dinner, which can be convenient!
