What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Deliciously Diverse Menu

I was stunned by the variety offered on the dinner menu. I opted for the lamb starter, which was so tender and infused with a refreshing hint of mint. The main course, rotisserie chicken, was cooked to perfection, and the fresh cheese board served alongside added a good touch to the meal.

Comfort Redefined

My room was incredibly spacious and had a luxurious feel. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, providing me with one of the best night's sleep I've had in a hotel. Plus, the room was equipped with a waterfall shower that offered a fantastic way to unwind after a long day.
