appreciating hospitality
Pros:

There is a very attractive manager. She was very friendly and always appeared with us. She gave us a very warm welcome and a very good introduction. Her name is Udumbara and she is a very beautiful and attractive girl who suits her name. Because of her, it seems that the hotel does not have any shortcomings.

Cons:

Even though it says there is a restaurant, the service is very confusing.

The rooms are very clean, the bedding is clean, and the mattress is comfortable.❤️‍🩹
Pros:

The staff is very supportive and the manager is a very young girl who is very attractive. She gave us a very warm welcome and seemed to be running the hotel on her own, managing everything very nicely.

Cons:

Facilities are very poor.

Nice hotel, but missing some advertised elements
Pros:

Good location with stunning views (if you dont mind a short but steep hill!)
Good space
Lovely shower with good temperature or pressure
Staff were attentive and helpful - our room was set out only for one person (there were two of us), but this was our fault as we changed rooms on arrival (we accidentally booked without aircon). The staff immediately came with extras and sorted everything out immediately!
Great air con!

Cons:

Advertised as restaurant, but no restaurant.
Very questionable pool - would not risk it.
Advertised as wifi in room, but there was not.
Mattress & pillows were not overly comfy.
