Excellent location

Virtually on The Strand, just past the amazing Bayan trees. Spacious room, good shower, with extra touches : crockery and cutlery, and a microwave oven. Our room was up some steep stairs, but there are other, less precipitous rooms too.

It is very closely located to the Strand, which is great if thats what you ate after. On the downside it is expensive for what you get though.
