The only bad thing for this hotel is that the rooms were sweltering hot and only one poor fan per room. Even when it cooled down outside, the room didn’t.

Hotel backed onto the river. The rooms were large and had modern bathrooms. Brwajdast was goid with a nice dining area. There was a large common room. Rooms were cleaned each day and tea,coffee and cookies replenished. No airconditioning so with the windows open, it was a little noisy.
