    wifi issues
    noise disturbances

    The hotel offers excellent room cleanliness.

    During my stay, the wifi connection was horrendous—only workable for social media, nothing else. Despite reporting this issue to the staff, I received no help. it seemed they didn’t believe me. Additionally, I found the noise levels quite disruptive, particularly from the corridors.

    clean room
    nice breakfast
    great air conditioning
    lack of hot water

    Clean room and nice breakfast each morning made our trip even better. We enjoyed visiting the National Theatre and exploring the vibrant local markets. For a basic setup, this hotel is pretty good, especially for the price. The air conditioning worked great, so we stayed comfortable after our long days out.

    However, I did find the amenities quite basic. There was no hot water in the bathroom sink, which was a bit frustrating.

    limited breakfast options

    The spacious and clean room provided a comfortable stay, with good Wi-Fi connectivity and a delightful breakfast featuring grilled meats. The staff was notably friendly and accommodating, quickly addressing any requests. However, the lack of basic amenities, such as a coffee machine and a functioning hot water tap in the sink, detracted from the experience. Additionally, noise from the corridors occasionally disrupted the peace.
