What guests say
8.2 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 198 guest reviews
Sessions Retreat & Hotel earns consistent praise for its excellent location, in-room kitchen setups, and warm, attentive staff, making it a solid budget-friendly choice. However, recurring complaints about the lack of reliable heating and air conditioning, small room sizes, and a handful of maintenance and hygiene issues (including an ant problem in one unit) suggest the property still has operational gaps to address. Overall guest sentiment is positive, but those sensitive to comfort essentials should set expectations accordingly.
