I stayed at this hotel recently, and I must say, it was a mixed experience. The hotel is conveniently located right at the bus stop, making it easy to get around, and there are plenty of eating places nearby. The rooms were comfortable with a built-in wardrobe, but the absence of a bidet was a bit of a letdown. The service was friendly but could be more attentive. The dining options were good, especially for vegetarians and vegans, however, the price seemed a bit high for the value offered.
