spacious room clean terrace comfortable bed

the room was spacious with a private exit to the terrace! everything was clean, and the breakfast was delicious. good location, very comfortable bed with air condition.

The hotel was quite loud. As the rooms were not well soundproofed, this meant you could hear nextdoor's bathroom and people moving around in the corridors.
