Staying at this hotel was truly a beautiful experience. I originally booked for one night as a transit stay after arriving at the airport, just before continuing my trip — but I ended up extending my stay — that’s how lovely it was. The room was spacious, spotless, and exactly as pictured—calm, comfortable, and full of good energy! The meals, both breakfast and dinner, were delicious. But what made this stay unforgettable was the incredible kindness of the owner. She’s a truly wonderful person who went out of her way to make me feel welcome and supported. She helped with my laundry, assisted in planning my trip, stored my luggage while I travelled, and even prepared a thoughtful takeaway lunch for my journey. Her generosity and warmth touched me deeply. I can’t recommend this place highly enough — it’s more than just a hotel, it’s a place where you feel genuinely cared for. I’ll definitely be staying here again and recommending it to everyone.
