I had a really enjoyable stay at the hotel, which offered spacious rooms with lovely views of the valley. The service was prompt, and my requests were handled without any hassle, making my holiday even better. However, I did find that the staff seemed a bit inexperienced at times, which detracted from the overall experience. The dining options, while varied, could use a bit more refinement, especially for breakfast.

I had a pleasant stay overall, with spacious rooms that offered beautiful views of the valley. The staff was very humble and did their best to make my holiday enjoyable, although they seemed somewhat new and inexperienced. On the downside, the location didn't quite meet my expectations for what I thought it would be, and dining options were limited.

However, the location felt a bit disconnected from the bustling local market, which might not be ideal for everyone. Still, the value for money was definitely present, especially considering the spaciousness and comfort of the rooms.
