The hotel is situated away from the over-crowded tourist area and conveniently close to a big supermarket. I found the rooms to be clean and comfortable, with our very generously sized private bathroom being a nice touch. The location was on the outskirts of town, offering a quiet retreat, but slightly removed from the center. The dining experience was excellent, offering great steaks at reasonable prices. However, the paid shuttle service was a bit of a downside, requiring an additional fee.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel! The room was spacious, with a generously sized private bathroom and a balcony. It was cleaned daily with fresh towels provided, and the nice bathroom added a touch of luxury to my stay. The location was perfect, nestled in a quiet neighborhood away from the main hustle and bustle of Pana but still within walking distance to the main shopping street and the city center. The dining experience was delightful, with on-site meals served at reasonable prices. However, the lack of some facilities was a minor downside. Overall, a great value for the money.

This hotel is in a convenient location, close to a big supermarket and nestled in a quiet neighborhood away from the hustle and bustle of Pana. It's nice to be slightly removed from the main tourist area, although it's a bit far from the center of town. The dining options are reasonably priced with on-site service, but mainly consist of cold dishes.

My room was comfortable, with a generously sized private bathroom and real hot water. However, the windows faced the hallway, and I wish there was a balcony. Overall, a cozy space to relax.

The hotel's location near a big supermarket and in a quiet neighborhood away from the main drag in Pana adds to its charm. Being slightly out of the main tourist area provides a peaceful stay, but it's a bit of a distance from the center of town. Value for money is reasonable considering the serene surroundings.
