Very clean, perfect for a simple place and stay for one night. There is a little community kitchen. (Great to keep things cool or cook a little meal!)

Excellent location (the place where the hotel is located is incredibly beautiful itself , but it is also close to the attractions of the diamond ring and the nice towns of the north coast). Comfortable , clean , kitchen essentials present (microwave, fridge, cups dishes and bowls available). Staff was not present on site but replied to emails promptly

The private bathroom
Laura

Spacious bedroom with a large wardrobe, very convenient for storing even open suitcases. The bathroom is basic, with a fabric shower curtain that is not the most practical. The property offers a well-equipped common area with fridge, sink, free coffee and tea, plus a vending machine with drinks, Skyr yogurt and instant noodles. Hot water has a sulfur smell, typical of the area, but cold water is fine and perfect for filling bottles. Overall, essential but functional for a short stay.
