I absolutely loved my stay at the Huntsman. From the moment I walked in the door at the reception desk to my meals in the restaurant, and to my leaving everyone was so welcoming so kind so helpful that it helped overcome any issues going on in the country related to fuel shortages. They are an excellent staff. Wonderful rooms. Beds are extremely comfortable.
