“From what I gather, this is a family-friendly place where the staff goes the extra mile, and the Bengali-speaking team creates a welcoming atmosphere; plus, the generous room sizes stand out in this price range. While its immediate location may present minor transport challenges, the overall experience seems solid, especially given the comfortable bedding and the tasty, home-style food. I'd say it's a great option if those perks fit your needs.”
