      Lovely, clean, friendly and comfortable hotel. These are the basic features that a family would like to have in their hotel when they travel away from home.

      My stay in the hotel had been comfortable and satisfying. They staff were friendly and they kept the place (room and outside) clean and tidy. We always had beverages' sachets top-up daily which was nice, especially when we came back from the cold weather outside!
