A Decent Stay

spacious roomeffective airconold equipment

The room was spacious. I liked the dining furniture and the dressing table (this was quite handy!). The air conditioning worked effectively. The bathroom seems recently modernized, although it features a typical Greek-style shower.

The equipment and the rooms seemed really old. I think, there is no maintenance at all. I believe, in 2024, every room should have at least the basics like a TV for example.
