Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a cozy stay with lovely rooms and exceptional service. However, the dining options could be improved. It's a great value for the location and amenities provided.
My stay at the hotel was wonderful! The rooms were very clean and comfortable, and the staff was incredibly friendly. The location was great, just a short walk to the beach and close to a big supermarket. I enjoyed the dining experience, especially the home-baked bread. The facilities were impressive overall.
Staying at this hotel was a pleasant experience overall. The rooms were well-equipped, although the view from some of them was not the best. The service was top-notch, with a range of helpful staff available to assist at any time. The hotel's location was ideal, especially for exploring the vibrant tourist street in Senegambia. However, there were some limitations in terms of the dining options available. The facilities offered were satisfactory but could be improved for a more comfortable stay.
The hotel provides a cozy stay with clean rooms and friendly staff, but it lacks variety in dining options. The location is convenient and close to the beach, offering a pleasant experience. Overall, it offers good value for money.
