This place has a lovely, clean feel, i must say! a bar and restaurant are available. The thai food is quite authentic, especially the panang. the staff is very approachable, which really helps. the rooms have a nice layout, and parking is easy with the courtyard garden being an extra plus!
The bathroom was compact. The toilet seat was wedged rather tightly between the wall and the bath, a bit inconvenient.

Excellent Stay
modern decor comfortable bed
The room offered modern decor and was very clean. I found the bed comfortable. I also appreciated the fan available in the corner of the room as temperatures were high (it was a lifesaver!).
The parking situation presented some challenges. Spaces were limited, and nearby roads had parking restrictions. I was fortunate to secure a visitor permit through family, but this could be an issue for others.
