Nice hotel !

The hotel very comfortable. The room big and clean. We only stay there for one night and we had to leave early in the morning so the staff made our breakfast in box for take away, its was very nice and thoughtful. Moreover the hotel is very close to the city center and to the main bus station it's like 4 minutes by walking.

This establishment is part of an optometrist's shop, and very hard to find. The towels and linen had been washed, but were literally falling to pieces. Nurawa Eliya can be cold, but there is no heating. Breakfast is prepared in the basement and served upstairs. It was virtually inedible. Pictures online make this hotel look far more salubrious than it is. Beware.

No more than one night needed

Comfortable and clean however the cold and windy weather makes for an unpleasant nights sleep as the gaps between the windows and doors causes them to rattle and let's in a draught. Breakfast nothing to shout about but it's fine for maybe one night.

Si vous aimez avoir froid et etre en plein air!!!

Deux nuits à l'hôtel Cottage 42. Ville très froide en altitude en cette saison, 13 degrés en moyenne et grâce à l'isolation désastreuse de l'hôtel, 2cm de jour entre la porte, fenêtres et murs, il y fait aussi froid à l'intérieur!!! Et ça n'est pas le petit débit de la maigre eau tiède qui va vous réchauffer!! Un enfer!!!
