“Overall, I had a really good time. The room was spotless and simple, with aircon, a fan, and a cupboard as described. The location in a pretty area was favorable, with a market and shops nearby. I also went to the city center, which was a medium distance from the hotel. The restaurant was nice, and the staff were super friendly and affable.”
