I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The place has an incredible view right opposite the lake, and it's so convenient being near the shopping strip. The in-house restaurant served up some tasty dishes, too. However, I had a bit of an issue with the restaurant recommended by the receptionist. The rooms were fantastic with stronger air conditioning and great amenities, even offering a nice view. The service, apart from the receptionist who checked us out, was top-notch, especially the room service and housekeeping. I did find the pricing to be reasonable considering the value for money. The dining experience was fantastic with options like grilled and boiled fish. The facilities were impressive, covering everything I needed during my stay.

I was delighted with the hotel's great location, close to everything and eateries. The room, though cozy, had a tiny vertical window facing the backyard, which was not ideal.

The hotel is perfectly situated on a hill, offering easy access to the restaurant recommended by the receptionist and the delightful in-house restaurant. The rooms are spacious and include a balcony, a large bathroom, a fully equipped kitchen, and a cozy chair by the bed, making for a comfortable stay. The service, beyond the efficient receptionist during check-out, was exceptional, with attentive room service, thorough housekeeping, and convenient laundry service. The location is ideal, with easy access to the nearby shopping strip, and the Italian pasta served in the dining area is a must-try. The facilities are top-notch, catering to every guest's needs with a touch of luxury.
