During my stay at Pandu Lakeside Hotel, I appreciated the lovely seaview and clean bedding, but faced several issues. While the location right by the lake was charming, the noise levels from other guests and inadequate bathroom facilities were disappointing. Sadly, the staff's rudeness and the limited breakfast options added to the less favorable aspects of my experience. Overall, it was a mixed stay.
