Appartamenti a Siwa

Shiam Peng Singapore

I was originally supposed to only stay one night at Paloma Lodge from 6 Nov to 7 Nov, but because I enjoyed my stay here so much, I decided to extend for 4 more nights, only checking out on 10 Nov instead. Paloma Lodge is very well located, with only about 5 mins’ walk away from Siwan town centre where all the restaurants, cafés and shops are located. Apart from that, it’s only a stone’s throw away from a fresh water spring, where it’s perfect for an early morning or mid-afternoon swim. The host, Captain Nair, is super kind, warm and hospitable! He made me feel very welcomed and because I was a solo female traveller, he would check on me when I’m out later in the evening. In fact, he invited me to dinners at the lodge with lovely meals, either prepared by the good Captain himself, or his lovely housekeeper, Safie! The lodge is very tastefully decorated and kept very clean. The one-room apartment that I stayed in was very cosy and was sufficiently equipped with kitchen appliances, such as; electric kettle, toaster oven and a fridge. I will definitely stay at Paloma Lodge again, when I come back to Siwa!! It was a very enjoyable and cosy homestay which felt like you are with family. A home away from home.

The reception here does not speak English, but that did not matter and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and Siwa. On our last day, our long-distance bus departed at night. So we tentatively decided that we couldn't do a normal check-out, for example, leave our luggage at the hotel and roam the streets in the heat until the bus time. So we asked for a late check-out, which we normally don't do. However, I was not charged any additional fee. I think this is a feeling of respect and kindness for travellers. To everyone reading this text, if you are also in such a situation, please do not abuse that feeling and pay the hotel properly as a gesture of goodwill(baksheesh). It is important to be taken care of the traveller and at the same time we had to give joyfully, i guess. And if you will come to Siwa, please stay at this hotel. It is a safe accomodation where you can feel the real warmth of the Berber people and there is no sense of fraud. Best of all, it is close to the town centre! And a little further in, you can get a glimpse into the life of the Siwa people! Balcony is very large! Super landscape!!!

La disponibilità e la gentilezza del proprietario e la possibilità di noleggiare una bicicletta che è il modo migliore per essere indipendenti e avere l'opportunità di sentire l'atmosfera del luogo.
