During my stay, I found the hotel tucked away in the tea plantations, giving a peaceful feel but quite far from the city center and other dining options. The breakfast was quite impressive with a variety of options, and the service was exemplary throughout my visit. However, I did experience some issues with the room, particularly the ceiling fan and the lack of a screen on the balcony door, which allowed flies to invade. Overall, a mixed experience with both highlights and areas needing attention.

The room was spacious and elegant with a nice bathroom, although the ceiling fan was a bit too powerful and there was no screen on the balcony door. It had a lovely touch with loose tea and a teapot provided.

My stay at Black Pool Hotel was absolutely wonderful. The rooms were stunningly spacious and cozy, with fantastic views of the surroundings, making it the perfect retreat. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making our experience feel special and personalized. However, while the dining options were good, there were a couple of instances where the food didn't quite match the presentation. Overall, the hotel offered great value for the experience we had.

I had a wonderful stay at this picturesque hotel in the mountains. The suite I stayed in was absolutely gorgeous, and I loved the hot cocoa welcome. The dinner was truly delicious, especially the fish and mixed meat dishes. However, the hot water in the bathroom was a bit inconsistent, which was a drawback. Overall, it's a lovely place with a few minor issues.

Our stay at this hotel was nothing short of extraordinary! Nestled in a stunning location, we were treated to mesmerizing views and an inviting atmosphere that felt like home. The rooms were wonderfully spacious and immaculate, making it a perfect retreat. The service was top-notch, and the dining was spectacular, although a more extensive breakfast buffet could have added to the experience. The only downside was the distance from the town, which could be a slight inconvenience for those wanting to explore more frequently.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, thanks to the incredible staff and the stunning views of the tea plantations. The rooms are spacious and well-equipped, making for a comfortable experience. The dining options were delicious, especially the breakfast, although a private party on my last night was a bit disruptive.
