Summary: Friendly staff and long term guests, arrived with a group tour and the property was oversubscribed meaning I didn't get to stay in the original room I booked but instead a big dorm room to myself.

Summary: Quaint.
Was very quiet because of the lack of overseas tourists due to Covid.
Room was clean and spacious.
On-site amenities were great.
Staff very friendly.
Had a slight glitch where I ended up getting charged twice - once by Expedia and again on arrival. Once I realised this and brought it to their attention), they refunded me very promptly without question.
