Perfect Location and Excellent Service

ideal locationnew towelsfriendly staffmissing restaurant
The location was ideal. It was very clean, and new towels arrived every day. The bedroom was quite spacious and well equipped. I appreciated the friendly staff, who were helpful with pre-arrival email arrangements for taxis and trips.
I found it a bit inconvenient that there was no restaurant in the hotel. I wouldn't want anyone else to think there are such services available.
