Worst hotel I’ve stayed in can’t even call it a hotel
Pros:

Only positive I can say is its location apart from that nothing else

Cons:

Place was dirty, hallways stunk of week and food being cooked, tv didn’t work, shower pressure was pathetic and got charge for parking, no blind in bathroom so anyone in opposite flats could look into bathroom.

Pros:

Everything is good and pleasant. The building is old and needs renovations as soon as possible. Otherwise, the place will be excellent. Of course, they should also put chairs in the rooms, because if not, people sit around the bed and the mattress takes the shape of a banana, and then it is uncomfortable to sleep.

Everything was just right — peaceful, comfortable, and welcoming.
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay! The room was clean, stylish, and very comfortable — just what we needed to unwind. The bed was high-quality linens, and we appreciated the quiet, restful atmosphere. The location was excellent, close to everything but still peaceful. A special thanks to Sebastian and Ajeesh for their warm hospitality and helpful tips — their service really stood out and made us feel truly welcome.

Cons:

They could open more facility to the hotel , but as we spoke with the staff they are planning to do that , they ensure us next time when we are coming here , we will have the bar and restaurant open.
