My stay at Hotel Villa Tournon was quite enjoyable overall. The location is fantastic, being close to downtown and surrounded by a beautiful garden. However, I did experience some noise from the nearby road at night and found the decor a bit outdated in my room.

I had a standard twin room that was spacious, but the bed was pretty small, and the decor was showing its age. Personally, I would have preferred a little more modernity and some coffee-making facilities in the room.

The service was definitely a highlight of my stay. The staff was friendly and helpful, especially Wayne-del at the reception, who was great to chat with and very eager to assist. I felt like they really cared about my experience here.

The hotel is conveniently located near the bus station and just 15 minutes from the city center. While it's in a busy area with heavy traffic, it was easy to get around, and I loved the tropical garden surrounding the hotel.

The restaurant served good home-cooked meals, and the breakfast had plenty of options, though on some days it wasn't buffet style. Still, I enjoyed the grilled pork chop and mashed potatoes. Would have loved to have tea or coffee in my room, though!

The outdoor pool and garden were lovely, with various spots to chill out. The gym was pretty basic, but better than nothing. The lack of air conditioning in my room did concern me a bit, but thankfully, it wasn't too hot during my stay.

Situated in a more bustling area of the city, it's just a 15-minute walk to downtown, making it easy to explore. However, the heavy traffic at night can create noise, but it never interfered with my sleep.

I had a pleasant stay at Hotel Villa Tournon, where I was welcomed by the friendly staff, especially Pedro. The restaurant served hearty home-cooked meals, and I particularly enjoyed the grilled pork chop. However, the rooms are a bit outdated, and it would have been great to have tea and coffee-making facilities. Road noise from the city was noticeable but didn't disrupt my sleep too much.

My room was spacious with two large double beds and a comfortable atmosphere, but it felt quite dated; the washbasin was chipped, and the taps had peeling enamel.
