Reviews and Ratings
A cozy hotel located in the historical center with clean and comfortable rooms and friendly staff. The dining experience offers tasty poached eggs but lacks variety. The facilities are well-maintained with a pool area for relaxation.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were comfortable and clean, and the staff was friendly. However, the lack of information on local hikes and the additional taxi requirement to access the old town were drawbacks. The central location was convenient, but more guidance on nearby attractions would have been appreciated.
The hotel is nestled in the caves, offering a unique experience. The rooms are comfortable with modern amenities, but the staff can be more informative about hikes. The location is secluded but perfect for cave enthusiasts. The dining options are authentic but could be more varied. Overall, good value for a cave stay.
