The staff was accommodating during check in time but I was disappointed with the rooms I was not expecting that it would look like that. No A/C only fan, room smells dusty I can feel like my asthma will triggered that's why I checked out after an hour of stay and booked for another hotel accomodation. I'm sorry the room is not recommendable.

Checking in was a bit difficult as you have to do it at the restaurant that is attached. This might be because it is the off season or because there are only a handful of rooms.

Loved the old building, but my room was on top floor and there was no lift, and there were no extra blankets provided so I was cold and there was a leaking cistern somewhere
