Breakfast wasn’t very good and could have used more variety. The washroom had a slow water flow issue, but overall the room was decent for the price. If you’re traveling in summer, make sure to ask for a fan, the room can get hot very quickly, and opening a window isn’t an option.

Lucky , We just booked for one night . I see it on their website that should have an air conditioning , it is not truth . Only the lobby on the ground floor has a real air conditioner with cool air , unbelievable! The room is too hot , the staff said that the air conditioner in our room is in eco system thus it just an air flow system ! I need to borrow a fan from the hotel but it doesn’t help and the window has a lock that only allows me to open not more than 10 cm . I sweat all night long . Also , The water pressure is very low .
