A very peaceful riverside guest house. Excellent service by all the team and the restaurant food is very good indeed. A bargain price wise.

I spent six days here and it was a pleasant place to relax and unwind.
Its convenient for the airport and thanks to Uber get around was easy and its just a short ride to the metro.
The staff are very friendly and nothing seemed to be to much trouble.
The restaurant was OK, a large menu, but much of it wasn't available, but what there was was very tasty. Breakfast was simple but more than sufficient.
Would certainly stay again when I am passing through.

Hotel ticked all the boxes for my short stay. Very pleasant location on the riverside. Beautiful grounds and buildings. The pool was clean and enjoyed use of on hot days. Room was large and clean with good bathroom facilities, great shower. All staff were very pleasant and extremely helpfull. Restaurant meals, breakfast and evening were excellent.
