I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, which is conveniently located in the heart of town and just a stone's throw from the main market. The rooms were quite comfortable, and I enjoyed the amenities offered. However, the dining experience could use some improvement, and I found the service to be a bit on the slow side at times. The overall experience was solid, but there were a few areas that could be enhanced for a better stay.

I enjoyed my stay at this hotel, especially because the rooms were clean and comfortable, and I appreciated the lovely balcony view. However, I was a bit let down by the dining options, which could use some improvement. The service was generally good, and the price felt fair for what I got, though the Wi-Fi should really be included. Overall, it's a pleasant place with some room for improvement.

I had a pretty good stay at this hotel, located in the heart of town and just a stone's throw from the main market. My room was clean and had a lovely balcony, perfect for enjoying the view, but honestly, the thin windows let in a bit too much noise. The dining experience was decent, with homemade ice cream being a standout, but I wished there were more breakfast choices. Overall, it offered good value for money, even if the service could have been a bit more attentive.

I had a really nice stay at the hotel, especially enjoying the comfort of my room and the helpfulness of the staff. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the main market area and several great cafes. However, the pool area was a bit crowded during peak times, and the breakfast could use a little variety. Overall, it felt like good value for the price I paid.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, especially because it was located right in the center of town, which made everything easily accessible. The rooms were spacious and nicely decorated, providing a pleasant atmosphere. While the service was mostly good, there were minor delays with laundry, but overall, it was a solid experience. The dining options were quite satisfying, although I wish the breakfast could have had more variety. All in all, it offered decent value for money.
