Good location just out of the city, clean, fairly basic rooms but looks to be recently refurbished. Our room looked directly onto the pool which was nice. Good stay for the money.

Seems a very popular place to stay for families with young children- our room was ground floor nicely renovated but very small. We heard what sounded like baby elephants above us as soon as it was daybreak. Also the pool is in the middle with rooms built very closely around and it was used all day and night. Person on reception with large glasses failed to smile and seemed quite uncomfortable doing his job. Had to wait in line to check in as only one person on reception.
