    This hotel offers great value for money with rooms that have AC, a balcony, and a delicious breakfast. The attention to detail is evident, with basic amenities like soap and shampoo in the shower dispensers, and a hook for towels. The location is perfect, close to the center and within walking distance of a restaurant where you can enjoy a meal overlooking the beautiful garden and even hang your wet clothes to dry.

    Everything was fine, no improvements needed.

    The location of this hotel was fantastic, being central to everything in the area. The filtered water and eventually hot shower were much appreciated after long days of exploring. The bed was also very comfortable, allowing for a good night's sleep. I loved the quaint atmosphere, especially with the interior garden.

    Decent location and cheap rates. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom had hot water. There was also an AC unit that worked alright.

    Everything else was pretty bad. The staff barely spoke to me, and the room was tiny and poorly maintained.

    The room was comfortable and spacious. We appreciated having both a good air conditioning system and a clean, modern bathroom with decent water pressure. we were impressed with the complementary water dispenser and the lovely local snacks offered by the staff.

    We found it frustrating that there was no Wi-Fi in our room and that the staff tried to overcharge us for breakfast.
