It is convenient because it is within walking distance from the station. All the staff are friendly and you can get a lot of information. You can also rent mountain bikes, which is effective for visiting ruins. This is a small, recommended inn! It's also great to have a refrigerator!

I can’t say enough about the hospitality that my wife and I received from this hotel. Mahinda went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. He set up our safari and ensured we had a ride made breakfast and ensured we got home safe.

Personale cordiale e gentile. Ma ciò non basta per raggiungere un livello di servizio di media/alta qualità. Le camere danno su una delle strade principali per cui abbiamo notato già al nostro arrivo un po' di traffico. La mattina successiva traffico dalle 6,30. Nel bagno c'era puzza di fogna, acqua calda solo per il doccino ma non il lavabo. Lenzuola non pulite e muffa nella camera vicino alla porta d'ingresso. Lascio valutare a chi vorrà andare in questo hotel se è il caso di andarci anche per una sola notte.

Tutto ok, struttura nuova camera spaziosa con letto comodo. Interno molto basico, andrebbe aggiunto un po' più di arredamento, manca un armadio, una sedia, qualche presa elettrica in più e sarebbe ottimo

Sehr empfehlenswert!

Wir hatten einen sehr angenehmen Aufenthalt. Das Zimmer war sauber und gepflegt, ebenso das Bad – alles wirkte ordentlich und gut gereinigt. Besonders hervorheben möchten wir das freundliche Personal, das jederzeit hilfsbereit und zuvorkommend war. Insgesamt ein tolles Hotel, das wir gerne weiterempfehlen!

Très jolie petit hôtel, tout récent et très bien tenu. Très bon confort. Repas excellents , 3 soirs de suite, sous une tonnelle dans le jardin. Seul petit bémol: étant situé au bord d'un grand boulevard, le bruit du traffic peut gêner.
