Staff in hotel especially... More

In those days it was like a family home, a home away from home,with limited facilities, clean,... More

Dear Sir, Thank you for choosing to stay with us and I'm glad you had a good family stay. Thanks for telling us the areas that we need to improve upon.

Clean facility and friendly staff. Good breakfast. Only issue is, hot water not available through out the day (just few hours in the morning and evenings). Little away from the city center, would not be an issue if you had your own transport.
