8.0/10

I loved the peaceful atmosphere of this hotel, even though it's like a separate section of the main hotel. The rooms were quiet and had a lovely view of the garden, but the hot temperature was a drawback. It's worth noting that the bedding often consists of two single beds pushed together, which may not suit everyone.
