4/5 - Good
Verified traveller
Fascinating display devoted to the 2016 earthquake although a bit cramped, the museum is smaller than expected judging by the outside of the building.

Beautiful rooms and communal areas. The lobby and courtyard are beautifully decorated. Our room was very comfortable and quiet. AC/heater was easy to use, as well as the spa bath. Really happy with our stay here, was well worth the value for money and would recommended staying here again.
