Reviews
Inside rooms was actually very well done. Comfortable bed. And the price was fantastic. This was good value for money.
I feel the whole place needs a renovation. Beds were not that comfortable. We had a room at the ground floor, where the kitchen was close by. When we checked in , our room had the smell from kitchen. The heater in room was not working and the staff arranged another portable heater for us , which we had to manage in the already cramped room. Room has wardrobe, which cannot be fully opened due to lack of space. Bathrooms also could be better.
Also please note that the Kitchen is not usable for guests for cooking. All you can use is the tea/coffee, toaster, microwave, fridge, and kettle. Guests are allowed to sit in the restaurant to have food.
