Straide Vacations from $1,647

A very pleasant hotel. The hotel was clean and well maintained. The pool, sauna and steam room were a great bonus and actually worked really well. There weren’t many people using them, so it was nice and relaxing. Dinner was reasonably priced and the staff were very friendly. Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay and would happily come back.

Staff very helpful but smell in room and hotel needs updating

Nice building in a great location though why the road to the shrine isn’t open directly from the hotel it is difficult to fathom. The restaurant is a well-decorated and pleasant room (apart from the worn, grubby kitchen door). It has a good ambience helped by playing appropriate music at an optimum volume. This is rare and a big plus. Food was good. However the service was slow and chaotic. The bathroom was not practical with a loo that was difficult to flush and there was nowhere to hang anything apart from two hooks in the shower cubicle. We had tea in the lobby and had to ask for the table to be cleaned. The waiter wiped the table with a wet cloth and replaced my book on the wet surface. Not impressed. The floor beside the table was covered in flaky pastry crumbs and not vacuumed until the next morning. A good environment but sadly poorly managed.
