Spacious Rooms and Convenient Location

spacious room sharing kitchen efficient transportation

The room was very spacious and clean. I appreciated the large bed. I found a sharing kitchen in the basement useful. It allowed me to store and prepare my food. The hotel's location was slightly out of town, but Bolt taxis offered very fast and efficient transportation.

The hotel has no visible staff and limited information unless contacted via WhatsApp. I had to inquire about breakfast room access, discovering it was on the second floor with stairs back to the ground floor.

The room felt smaller than expected. it barely fit my luggage, and moving around was difficult, though the bed was comfy. the bathroom cleanliness was also subpar. I noticed some mold. the towel felt very old and rough. It was like a sieve.
