“Good location. Beautiful garden”
The staff was very kind and the breakfast was very good. We enjoyed our breakfast on the garden patio. The rooms facing the garden are quiet and with large balcony. The rooms are also quite large and comfy. We slept good. The location is very central and we walked to the Central market and the downtown area.

“Oasis at the edge of town”
I really liked this hotel. It is on the edge of a busy dusty town and is an oasis with the most beautiful garden and room balconies overlooking the garden. The staff were friendly and helpful and the hotel had a proper luggage room where they willingly stored my bag while I went on a small Safari
