The hotel is located up a steep hill, but it's fine since it's close to where many mid-range hotels are situated. The rooms are simple, clean, and comfortable, equipped with everything you need, including a mini fridge and air conditioning. The service was helpful and nice, although there were some moments of confusion. The dining was tasty and substantial, but there was an additional charge for using Amex. The location is convenient for accessing the city and the Sacred Tooth Temple. However, the noise level at night, despite no party, was a downside.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were a slight improvement but still had issues with cleanliness, ants, and mould. However, they were sufficient to spend the night, equipped with a/c and a balcony. The service was good with helpful staff, but there were some instances of inconsistency. The location was great with stunning views from the terrace but required a steep walk up the hill. The dining experience was good overall, but there is room for improvement. The facilities met basic needs but could use some upgrades.

The hotel had amazing hill views from the balcony, clean rooms, and helpful staff. However, it was a bit tricky to locate as our cab driver misunderstood the hotel's location at first. The shared balcony provided stunning views of the forest park, Buddha statue, and wild monkeys in the foliage.

My stay at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were well taken care of, with no stains on the sheets, and the size was decent with all necessary furnishings. However, the room layout led directly onto the stairs, which felt unsafe, but it was manageable for a one-night stay. The service was a bit erratic, with instances of overcharging and confusion but with some helpful and friendly gestures. The location offered great views but involved a steep walk back from the town center. The dining experience was pleasant and provided good value for the money, with a variety of delicious options. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory but not exceptional.
