10/10 Excellent
"Honestly this place is better than a lot of hotels. Owners are super helpful and accessible. Rooms are super nice. My bed and pillow above any other hotel I have ever stayed at! Rooms are quiet you cannot hear anything at all. Kitchen was stocked and ready for cooking or whatever. 2 bathroom was enough i never had to wait. Hot water never ran out. The steps up to the hotel is a tiny journey - but if you take a taxi they come ip pretty close. So it's defiantly not bad at all."
