decent stay, some minor issues

fantastic locationrooftop terracehelpful staffsmall showersingle keyno phone

the location was fantastic. it was convenient to shops, cafés, and restaurants. the rooftop terrace was a big plus. i enjoyed watching a sunset from there (it was really something!). the staff seemed friendly and helpful.

the room i had lacked a phone for connecting to reception or elsewhere. the shower was also quite small. i could not move easily inside. there was only one key available. if one person left the room without it, they could not get back (this was a bit inconvenient).

Acceptable Stay, but with Issues

convenient locationsmall showerbroken air conditioning

The location was close to the train station.

The shower was uncomfortably small. It would be IMPOSSIBLE for anyone of larger build to use it. the air conditioning didn't work WELL and it was noisy too.
