early noise thin curtains

the noise from the rooftop restaurant was quite disruptive early in the morning. i could hear chairs and tables being moved around starting around 7:30 am. the curtains also did little to block out the light. it.

The staff was always cute! Shahzad provided excellent recommendations for local shops and restaurants. The hotel arranged airport transport service. This was quite convenient. The terrace offered a beautiful view. I found the room clean with comfy beds and simple decor.

The immediate area had some dark streets with scattered garbage, but this was a minor issue overall.
