The hotel itself is what one would expect from a 4 star hotel in this part of the world. The staff were generally helpful and friendly. The great disappointment for us was the deterioation of the quality... More

Nice aircon to keep the room cool in the hot summer days. Spacious room with two double beds!! We enjoyed the breakfast, even though we missed some dishes as... More
