The hotel was a nice place to stay, with spacious rooms that include a sofa area but might be far from the lift and lack windows. The service was efficient in handling issues and checking procedures, although not very helpful. The location was convenient from the city center and close to the temples, but not right in the middle of the city. The dining experience was challenging due to limited parking and a bad breakfast. Overall, a satisfactory stay with room for improvement.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and built with high-quality materials, almost at a 4-star standard. The 'mountain view' from the room added to the charm. The service was friendly, although there was little flexibility with check-in timing. The location was convenient with the bonus of being able to see my car from the room window. The dining options were good, especially the attached boutique cafe. The facilities were top-notch, making for a pleasant and enjoyable experience overall.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, although not having a window made it feel a bit confined, which was manageable for a short stay. The staff was friendly and accommodating, although some training may be beneficial. The location was convenient, near food sources and shops, but a bit far from the city center. The dining experience was good, with nearby options within walking distance. The facilities were satisfactory for my needs.

The hotel's location is very convenient, making it easy to access places of interest, but unfortunately, the room lacked a window, which felt claustrophobic at times.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The check-in process was quick, but unfortunately, it disrupted my sleep due to noise. The room was clean and tidy, but quite basic. The service was friendly and helpful, though it was unavailable after 6pm. The hotel's location was convenient but a bit far from the town center for the price. Dining options were limited, and parking was challenging. Overall, it was an okay stay but could use improvements.

The hotel is situated conveniently in the heart of the city, offering easy access to local attractions and food sources. While the rooms may lack mountain views, they provide a quiet atmosphere ideal for relaxation. Service is friendly but could benefit from additional training for a more professional approach. The location is strategic for exploring nearby cave temples and getting to various attractions. Dining options are limited to hot drinks but are accessible within walking distance, with cafes nearby.

The hotel location is very strategic, surrounded by lush greens and caves, offering a nice view. The rooms were initially slightly smelly but were quickly resolved with an air freshener; some minor fixes are needed in certain areas like the ceiling light and bathroom hook. The service was friendly but lacked professionalism during check-in, and housekeeping only occurred upon request. The dining experience was limited to a boutique cafe for beverages. Overall, a good value for money stay with great surroundings.

Upon arrival, our room was not ready yet, but once settled in, it was spacious with a sofa area. The hotel staff are extremely friendly and polite, although there were instances where they were not always available at the front desk. The location, surrounded by lush greens and caves, was the main reason for choosing this hotel, making it convenient to visit desired attractions. The dining experience, provided by an attached boutique cafe, was not impressive. Overall, the hotel offers decent facilities. Prices could be seen as a bit on the higher side, considering the value for money.
