I had a decent stay at the hotel. The location was quite nice, with a fantastic view, but it was a bit of a walk to get to the main churches. The room I stayed in was small but clean, although I could hear my neighbors quite clearly. The staff was attentive and helpful, and the dining options, while generous, could use improvement. Overall, it was reasonable for the price, but the noise levels could be disruptive.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms had a breathtaking view of the mountains, and I felt that the price was a good deal for what I received.

My stay at the hotel had its highs and lows. The location is quite decent, making it easy to explore nearby churches without a guide, plus the facilities are straightforward and functional. However, the room was quite a letdown with the lack of windows and needed a working bathroom, and the early morning noise definitely affected my sleep. Overall, it’s not ideal, but it has potential.
