Das Personal war durchweg super freundlich und hilfsbereit - man fühlt sich sofort willkommen. Sowohl das Hotel selbst als auch mein Zimmer waren makellos sauber, was den Wohlfühlfaktor noch verstärkt hat. Besonders hervorheben möchte ich die hervorragende Küche: Das Essen war ausgezeichnet! Ein absolutes Highlight war das Sri Lankan Curry - unbedingt probieren, es ist wirklich ein Genuss. Ich komme gerne wieder!
