Reviews
Good for group.
It is convenient as every room with bathroom, but no washing machine.
Very friendly staff.
Very friendly staff.
I mostly recommend this spot for a one night stay if you’re having an adventurous vacation. The nearby sites won’t take more than a day’s visit, and the local shop is expensive if you’re trying to cook your own food.
Really enjoyed!
