How we compare hotels

Every hotel on this page comes from its public Google Maps listing, collected in September 2026. We do not accept payment for placement, and a listing is never ranked higher because of a partner link.

Star class is the hotel class shown on Google. Many smaller hotels and guesthouses have no class listed.
Guest rating is the Google average and review count at the time of collection.
Recommended order weighs the rating by the number of reviews, so a 4.9 from eight reviews does not beat a 4.5 from 800.
Facilities are those mentioned in the listing or in guest reviews, not a guarantee. Confirm what matters to you with the hotel.
Distances to the city centre and to the airport that serves the city are measured in a straight line, so the drive is longer.
Photos, rooms and rates come only from the hotel itself: its own website, or the photos the owner posted on its Google Maps page or own social media, with the date we checked them. A hotel without such photos shows no photo here: we never use stand-in pictures.

Published rates change, so send a booking request from the hotel page and we ask the hotel for the rate on your dates. Let us know through our contact page if a hotel has closed or its details are wrong.
