Adequate Stay

great location rooftop seating long wait cigarette butts

The location was great. I could easily walk to the bus station, very convenient. The kitchen had everything I needed, and I enjoyed having breakfast on the rooftop, I watched storks flying over. It was a peaceful experience.

The check in process was not smooth. I informed the hotel of my arrival time, I still had to wait half an hour. The terrace outside the studio was not well-kept, there was dirt and cigarette butts.

Acceptable Location, Notable Issues

poor ventilation thin walls

The location proved to be very convenient for accessing transportation hubs.

The bathroom lacked proper ventilation and had a noticeable smell of dampness. Building work nearby caused considerable disturbance during the day. Thin walls between rooms meant a lack of privacy and unwelcome noise from other guests.
