Reviews and Ratings
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the staff was incredibly friendly, and the location was perfect for exploring the beautiful Botanical Gardens nearby. However, the dining options were a bit limited for my taste. Overall, a great value for money stay with friendly service and a lovely setting.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel, enjoying the daily fresh flowers in my room and the beautiful balcony overlooking the garden. The modern amenities were a nice touch, though the price could have been more budget-friendly. The air conditioning worked perfectly, keeping me comfortable throughout.
I was thrilled with the hotel's ideal location right on the beach and amidst beautiful surroundings. The rooms were clean and comfy, and the staff was genuinely friendly and helpful. The dining options were somewhat limited, but the overall stay was delightful. A great value for the money.
I couldn't have asked for a better stay! The hotel's location is just perfect, nestled between the river and the Indian Ocean, offering breathtaking views. The rooms are spacious, with a king-size bed and a lovely balcony overlooking the lush garden. The service was exceptional, with the staff going above and beyond to make my two-week stay incredibly comfortable. However, the dining options were a bit limited, but the toasted sandwiches were a delicious choice. The facilities were top-notch, enhancing my overall experience.
The hotel offers a comfortable stay with a welcoming atmosphere and a lovely view of the garden from the balcony. The air conditioning in the room is a great relief in the humid heat, but some may find the location disappointing in certain aspects.
