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 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.
