Reviews
The room is on a small side, but was enough for the two of us. In sum, highly recommended.
Staff are friendly and helpful.
Breakfast is good and diversified with freshly orange juice squeezed in front of you.
It will be a great idea if the breakfast has more Halal food for Muslims who don't eat pork.
