Very basic room. Tired Hotel. AC very noisy. No coffee maker. Had the most selfish neighbours who played music all night. (Which also means the insulation between rooms was very poor)

Staff were great. But the facility is bad. No hair dryer in the rooms. Staff got one for me though very old and dirty. You can hear everything through the walls. And people were outside by their rooms loud till 12:30. Keys don’t work very well.
