The location was unbeatable, with easy access to local shops and transport, while the cleanliness of the facilities, including the spacious dining area and kitchen, was impressive. The added bonus of a rock climbing wall made my experience even more exciting.

We loved the hotel's fantastic location, as it was super close to the main street and tons of activities. The facilities were top-notch, particularly the spacious kitchens and clean shower rooms. Plus, we felt safe and comfortable in our private room, and the available tea and coffee were a nice touch. The staff were incredibly helpful, especially when we needed assistance.
