Reviews
the green park area around the building is full of children and nannies with babies. It's a quiet place.
The hotel building is old, and the interior smells musty and worn. The breakfast is terrible, not for Europeans. The staff is well-trained and friendly.
I will always recommend this place for stay both for quality of hospitality and services though it's bit costly due to. Season but all is well worth
Location very good the rest so so
