Very friendly staff who were very helpful. Rooms were of reasonable size with adequate A/c. The bathroom was a little small and could have been better with... More

I would not recommend this hotel. I can't believe the good reviews on this site!!!! Yes, staff are very friendly, but that does not make up for a bad experience. I stayed there for a few nights in February, there were constant blackouts and there seemed to be difficulties with getting the generator started. It rained a lot during my... More

Pros: - Great location to explore the caves! - Excellent staff - Food: had dinner once. Was ok. Cons: - Mainly the room: we booked a Deluxe AC room. It was quite bad: not very clean, many... More
