I stayed at this hotel and really enjoyed the experience overall. The location was right next to the ferry and not far from the main market, making it super convenient for exploring. The rooms were clean and spacious, providing a comfortable atmosphere. However, I felt the dining options could use some improvement, as the breakfast had limited variety. The facilities were great, especially the pool area which was lovely to relax in. Still, I found the Wi-Fi to be an additional cost, which was a bit of a downside.

I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel, which was conveniently located just off the main market and close to everything I wanted to explore. The rooms were cozy and well-maintained, but the dining options, especially breakfast, left something to be desired. While the pool area was nice for relaxation, I felt the value for money could improve considering the dining experience. Overall, it’s a solid choice for its location and comfort, but don’t expect high-end dining.

I had a pretty enjoyable stay at the hotel. The location was excellent, just off the main market and easy to explore nearby shops and attractions. The rooms were tidy and cozy, but I wish they had a bit more space. While the facilities were satisfactory, I found the lack of air conditioning to be a bit uncomfortable. Overall, it was a decent stay at a reasonable price.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, which is just off the main market and really close to everything I wanted to explore. The rooms were comfortable and clean, though not overly spacious. The service was decent, but I did find some staff members a bit rushed. Dining options were limited, but I managed to find a few local products worth trying. Overall, good value for money, though I hope they expand their dining options in the future.
