We didn’t realize how far from many tour sites the hotel was. We did appreciate staff help with taxis and with a car park. Also, appreciated help with refrigeration of my wife’s insulin and container for her insulin. Thought the restaurant was expensive and food was average or less.

Convenient but somewhat dated and quirky
Nice hotel, but somewhat dated (no AC but did provide a fan). Quirky because one switch operated bathroom light and bedroom light so couldn't turn on bathroom light without waking everyone. Nonetheless I would stay here again.

Noticed the room was pretty hot because there's no AC and the window didn't open wide enough for air flow and we only had a fan.The bed was a little too firm for me but we managed since we only stayed for 1 night.

Only stayed the one night before an early morning flight but would have been well inclined to stay for longer based on the limited experience. Staff were friendly and helpful, room was clean with all the facilities you would expect and the bar/restaurant looked very appealing hopefully will get back to prove such...
