I had a lovely stay at this hotel, enjoying the excellent views of the mountains right from my room. The staff was very friendly and tried their best to help me out whenever needed. However, the service could have been better, especially when we required a porter in the morning but didn't get any assistance. Overall, it was a good experience, but there were some areas that could use improvement.
