Reviewer Type: Family With Children
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: It was a great place to stay — calm and peaceful, with an amazing view from the room. The room size was comfortable, and everything was clean and easily accessible. Hats off to the chef — the food was excellent. The staff were friendly and provided great service.
Negative: The facilities are quite basic and feel a bit outdated. Overall, the pricing seems slightly high considering the level of facilities provided. The water pressure in the washrooms was quite poor, which is not ideal for a hotel. Improving the positioning and maintenance of these facilities would make a big difference.
Summary: Great stay!
