  No hesitation in recommending this over fancier impersonal chain joints, unless you like that kind of thing

  Liked : - Great restaurant
  - spacious room
  - Friendly service at the restaurant

  Disliked : - Breakfast starting only at 8AM - too late if we have morning flights or excursions
  - bad leveling of the floor in the bathroom, resulting in water going all around in the room.

  Liked : The restaurant meals were wonderful and varied. The location seemed central to several of our activities. It was super clean and included many essentials. We enjoyed hanging out in the garden with drinks.

  Disliked : We found the bed a bit hard and would have appreciated shampoo being provided. The wifi was not strong enough for video calls in the room nor in the shared hallway.

  The unexpected good surprise

  Liked : Very rich breakfast with fresh fruit juice, carefully prepared by Constantin and others staff, who are very helpful and polite.
  Nice restaurant, also popular for locals.
  Overall, highly recommended for short stays with a great value for money.

  Disliked : The noise of a construction site, but this is not under the control of the Hotel.

  Liked : My 2nd time here. Rooms are absolutely fine (very nice to be able to open windows while still barring mosquitoes from entering ;) Staff is helpful and nice. But the best reason to sleep here is if you like a good dinner ;) It's a restaurant first, hotel 2nd, just a few rooms. Breakfast is very nice and personal - no buffet, and with the good stuff they serve, don't need one either.

  Disliked : Nothing.
