10/10 Excellent

Overall the Lodge was very good with staff very helpful and supportive. The room was spacious and clean. One thing the management needs to aware that the washer and dryers were not working well. The laundry facility should be a good and convenience for the guests and should be a big credit to the lodge, but if the washers and dryers are not working well, it will become a big damage to the overall impression of the guests staying in the lodge. I used the washer and both dryers during my stay,...

We were thoroughly surprised with the spaciousness off the room as well as the updated and modern feel of the fixtures! It made for a really stress free and relaxing atmosphere after a day of sightseeing. The staff were equally communicative, friendly, and professional. We took full advantage of the in suite washing machine, tennis court, and ping pong table. We would definitely stay here again!

Aura Accommodation

10/10 Excellent

Had a nice stay at Aura Accommodation. Room was clean and we had everything to make coffee in the mornings. We arrived late but they set things up so we could do a self check-in, worked perfectly. Hotel is just a short walk to Eat Streat with a multitude of restaurants to choose from. FYI, some rooms (like ours) have a large sliding patio door instead of a regular one. Worked fine, but was felt odd at first. Nevertheless, would stay here again.
