"Hotel situé loin des points d'intérêt. Le personnel à l'accueil a une connaissance de l'anglais limité ce qui explique peut être pourquoi il est difficile d'avoir des renseignements sur les possibilités de visites, de transport et des environs. Literie comfortable, personnel très gentil, petit déjeuner copieux et bon. Les chambres sont grandes, mais ont de la moquette tachée et un peu usée. Le jardin et la piscine sont très jolis."
