We loved staying here. The rooms were large, clean, and very comfortable. The owner organized the safari for us and had prepared a to-go breakfast for us as well. We would come back here and stay for sure!

The staff were amazing. Only started one day but they prepared a breakfast box ready at 4:30 am. Facilities look great including the pool (didn't get time to use it though). Easy 500m walk to the clock tower

Trevligt hotell med familjekänsla

Trevligt mindre hotell med familjekänsla dock något slitet. Personalen var väldigt trevliga och serviceminded. Middagen vi beställde var fantastisk. Frukosten var också bra. Kan rekommendera detta hotell.
