10/10 Excellent

Salongo and his team went above and beyond to make my family comfortable. Salongo helped me cross a flooded road which was really helpful after my taxi had failed to find another route to the hotel. The place is very nice and cozy for a relaxing stay. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this hotel.
