“The hotel strikes me as a practical choice near the ferry, with some rooms offering ample space and air conditioning, which could be welcome after a day exploring the city; its Indian restaurant also seems a notable feature. Although some aspects show wear, the staff's kindness and the airport transfer service appear to be reliable assets. For travellers seeking convenience and essential amenities, this could be a reasonable option.”
