Very small hotel, clean, and well-kept garden area. Good for backpackers who can afford a little bit more for accommodation. However, no hot water or Television, and no pool. I guess that was good in a way. Also, there is a church across the street that goes on till 12 pm on some days. Overall, I had a good experience, and the staff were very helpful.
