Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers cozy rooms with a view of the car park and a convenient shower, although the spare bedroom setup may not appeal to everyone. The service was satisfactory, with housekeeping keeping things in order and a welcome drink to kick off the stay. Located right in the village center, it's a perfect spot for exploring the famous parade and the nearby church. The dining experience exceeded expectations, especially with the excellent poached eggs. While basic, the hotel provides all the necessary facilities for a comfortable stay.
I stayed at this hotel and had a good experience overall. The location is very convenient, in the center of the village and close to the festival. The rooms were decent with a cupboard and a shower, but the view from the window overlooked the car park. The service was top-notch with friendly housekeeping and a nice welcome drink. The dining experience was satisfactory with excellent poached eggs included in the meal. However, the facilities were average, offering limited amenities. The price was fair, considering the value for money.
The hotel is in a bustling area, right in the center of the village and very close to the festival. The rooms are cozy and well-equipped, but the view overlooks the car park. The service is excellent with attentive housekeeping, yet a welcome drink was missed. The location is vibrant, in the heart of the village with easy access to the famous parade. The dining experience offers tasty Thai dishes but lacks variety. The facilities are modern and convenient, offering everything I needed during my stay.
