Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms offered a nice lake view and a balcony, but they were pretty basic and needed cleaning. The tourist police presence was overly obtrusive. On the bright side, the rooms were elegant and comfortable, providing a decent stay despite some cleanliness issues.
