Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located near the train station, making it easy for transportation, but that might not be the safest option at night. The rooms were a bit on the smaller side and lacked a mini bar, which would have been useful during the summer heat. The service was generally good, especially from the helpful reception staff, but there was an instance of unprofessionalism. Overall, it offers decent value for money, especially for those on a guided tour.
