I am thrilled the staff was so helpful! The hotel is a real beauty too. The swimming pool inside my room was the total highlight, I mean WOW! My daughter had a great time and we will always remember this, what a memory!

My room was large but it needs a little TLC. The towels needs changing for sure. I really wanted someone to make sure people didnt bath fully clothed, it is not so hygienic!

the architecture and design captivated me with an antique fort door in the reception. i enjoyed the tranquil gardens and the large peaceful room, including its own courtyard bathroom. i found the swimming pool fantastic.

i noticed several repairs to furnishings and fixtures that looked dated. the french doors led to a large terrace, but it lacked landscaping and furnishings, rendering it unusable. a used food tray remained outside my door for two days.
