Peace is contagious at this pure sanctuary. The hotel's humble simplicity is a welcoming relief. The staff are very kind and keep the place clean and neat. You cannot help but be moved inwardly as the atmosphere radiates spirituality.

You will find this hotel to be so quiet. The atmosphere is perfect. It was also at a good price and clean. I recommmend it.

The breakfast provided a wide choice of foods from cereal to sweet rolls, from juice to coffee. The beds were very... More
