Le personnel est accueillant et serviable, seulement je n’ai pas apprécié de rester sans connexion internet toute mon après midi jusqu’à mon départ. Dons je n’ai pas pu communiquer avec ma hiérarchie, ni avec ma famille.

Impressed with Saffana
It was great for a small older hotel. Service was good. Very polite and knowledgeable in hotel and restaurant management. Although l speak french, l refused to as a test. I was impressed by their bilingualism.
