    The staff were very accommodating. The room is very clean and has air conditioning. There is also a hot shower, so if you want to take a shower in the morning, no problem. And above all, the security was the best.

    On arrival we decided to stay in the hotel inside, which was lovel. Nothing wrong with the backpackers, but we had been travelling all day, and decided to upgrade our stay. Was offered a 10% discount too, which was very welcome. Thank you.
