Just had a 1 night stop over before flying home and it was a very comfortable stay. Next to all the shops and the restaurant at this hotel provided a fantastic menu which we enjoyed. Lovely stay and would definitely use/stay again in the future if the opportunity arises again.

Exceptional staff and great location

I stayed for a week during a conference. The hotel staff is exceptionally hospitable. I got the feeling that they genuinely care. They helped arrange a diving trip and book taxies. Airport pickup, laundry service, and breakfast were all satisfactory. The room was basic but clean and functional. The location is great too: close to the fish market and there were plenty of stores around. I highly recommend this place.

1 night transtition hotel

Our parents' room had water dripping from the air-con, thus they had to move to another floor. Airport transport and breakfast are included, nothing more to complain about for a transition hotel.
