clean double roomwork desk spaceliquid soapterrace noiseair conditioning absenceindifferent staff
i found my "double room" to be quite clean and well-arranged. there was plenty of space to work at the desk. the bathroom included both shower gel and liquid soap in dispensers.
my room was situated above an outside terrace, which resulted in considerable noise when the windows were open. i noted there wasn't air conditioning in the room. indifferent waiting staff was present .

The breakfast included was large and filled me up. The room was clean, and it was warm. I liked the friendly staff members and their politeness.
The mattress in my room was too soft. The shower controls were not easy to operate, and the pressure wasn't great. I think a luggage stand is really needed too.
