Breakfast is really good: eggs, good bread, tea, coffee, juices, porridge and marmalade and butter. Also the common area is a really cool place to hangout. We got the king room and it is very spacious!

Jeanne United Kingdom

this property is just slightly away from the center of town— just a couple minutes extra walk instead of being in the middle of things allows for a MUCH quieter experience as far as street traffic goes. the common space is awesome — great for hanging out and meeting people. the included breakfast is great and the restaurant options are awesome. they have everything you need. this place has a great vibe. the bedding was surprisingly upscale and comfortable.

Jenny United States of America

The place is great, kinda relaxing oasis in the center of the city. The location is perfect, super close to the city center. The facilities at the territory are great, the especially loved hammocks outside, plus the view to the waterfall is amazing as well as the nature at the territory of the place. Loved so much the pool, football and lots of board games they have.
