the room was hot, even with a fan running. i couldn't open the window enough for proper ventilation. breakfast should have been included to make the cost worthwhile.

Acceptable Location. Room Issues

lack of air conditioning poor ventilation

The hotel location was great, very central for accessing shops and transport.

The room lacked air conditioning, a significant problem. It became uncomfortably warm, especially since outside temperatures were not particularly cool. I expected better ventilation at the price I paid. It was disappointing.
