“What struck me is the attentiveness of the owner; reports suggest real value for money, especially given the quiet location near key destinations. While lacking some amenities like TVs and consistent air conditioning, the rooms appear spacious and clean. For travellers prioritizing a peaceful environment and attentive service on a budget, this could be a smart choice.”
