Overall, I found the hotel to be quite good. The rooms are modern and spacious, with amenities like AC and cable TV, which add to the comfort. Though I enjoyed the complimentary breakfast, I had trouble sleeping because my room was right below the kitchen, so I was disturbed by noise in the mornings. Nevertheless, it's a decent place for the price, and I'd consider returning, possibly to a different room that might be quieter.

Despite these drawbacks, I would happily return for the experience.

The property is well-maintained and creates a cozy atmosphere, making it feel more like a home than a traditional hotel. However, there were some issues with communication since no staff spoke English, and the Wi-Fi was often unreliable. The breakfasts were good, but I was hoping for more variety.
