This hotel exceeded my expectations. It was beautiful and cosy, and the staff were extremely friendly. It was in a good location with a bus stop around the corner to bring you to the centre in 15 minutes. The owner gave us a map when we arrived with information on how to get around and very helpful tips on places to see. Our room was clean, warm and tastefully decorated. Breakfast each morning was delicious. I cannot recommend this hotel enough, I will definitely be back!

I am very satisfied with my stay at this place. Ms. Margaret was a gracious and welcoming host. Everything was neat and clean, and the overall atmosphere was truly pleasant. I would highly recommend this room to anyone. The location is also excellent—just a 7-minute walk to the bus stop, with only a 15-minute ride to the city center. Both the conditions and the ambiance were definitely a plus.

The lodging over all. New, clean and well kept. The apartment: rooms small. Just the bed and space enough to access it and a wardrobe. The living room. Wide enough with a small kitchen and oven and microwave, washing and drying machine and dish washer. Would recommend to read the instructions provided in folder available in the room. Good design. The service. Stellar. This time we ended up having a lot of last minute hiccups, and staff was always helpful even after the rental was over, and they stored the luggage for us, and even provided a bowl on request when one members of a group on the way out need it to eat instant noodles. In a word stellar.
