Nice and tidy place. Only disruption was very loud morning prayer call. No Netflix only local tv, no English Channel.

Friendly staff at reception and bar. We didn't have breakfast or dinner since we wanted to try local foods in local restaurants in the village.

Checked in was very smooth, "Yaya" from the checked in counter was very helpful and she even call the room to check is everything ok. Breakfast spread was superb. The only setback was the pillow for my 4 nights stay, to soft, maybe hotel can invest for a better pillow, a bit firm should be nice.
