Wonderful stay
garden view huge bathroom kind people
The team was very kind, especially Madam Sega. She ensured we enjoyed our stay. The food was good. Our room had wonderful garden views. The bathroom was huge, almost the bedroom's size.
The hotel has ongoing building work. The work starts in the morning and continues until late, causing noise. I found this disruptive.
Location
