It was a terrible experience; never again will I make a booking at that place.
Pros:

The breakfast was fairly good
The staff was friendly

Cons:

The bathroom shower was leaking at the base such that the whole toilet floods with water while showering
There was a kettle in the room but no cups, no glasses.
The carpet is very dirt. This cannot be rated a 3 star hotel. The images shown on the website are an exaggeration.

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

The was no water coming from the bath tub, eventually cold water came through. We waited for hot water until about 30 minutes and eventually was moved to another room, had both hot and cold water, but no water in the morning. I had a horrible experience while bathing . I won't even mention the so-called breakfast
