"Located within the fort, the hotel is conveniently situated within walking distance of shops, restaurants, and key attractions. The property is fairly basic but clean, and the included breakfast was decent. We were unfortunate to experience a power outage one morning, but it wasn’t a major inconvenience as we were heading out for the day anyway. Overall, a comfortable and well-located stay."

Mango House

Mango House

8/10 Good
"Staff were lovely, the breakfast was exceptional and location perfect. The beds were comfortable. We had a family room so no window to the outside apart from a small window looking over the foyer and the climb to the second bed very steep. Unfortunately there was no hot water and the information provided was that it would not be repaired for several days and applied to the whole property. Staff seemed unconcerned when we complained and a partial refund (about 1/5 of room cost) was provided. Fortunately we had only booked 2 nights but other than hot water it was lovely."
