The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Cozy and Comfortable

During my recent stay, I found the single room to be cozy and adequately equipped for a budget hotel. It was small but had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The bed was clean and inviting, making it the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring. Although the decor was somewhat dated, I appreciated the effort to keep everything clean overall.

Simple Yet Satisfying Breakfast

I enjoyed the breakfast offered at Samil Hotel. The selection was simple with fresh vegetables, eggs, olives, and a bit of cheese. While it wasn’t extravagant, it was wholesome enough to start my day off right. It was a great way to fuel up before heading out to explore the historic sites nearby.

Restful Sleep

My bedroom was perfect for a good night's sleep. The bed was comfortable, and despite the relatively small size, it felt welcoming. The best part was that my room was quiet enough, allowing me to rest well after busy days. Overall, the sleeping arrangement suited my needs perfectly.
