Pros:

Some of the staff were friendly and helpful

Cons:

The room was not as cozy and the TV wasn't working properly. The keycard system kept shutting me out. I had to continuously go to reception to get it working.

I really didn’t enjoy my stay because of the noise from staff
Pros:

Place was convenient and right in the centre of town

Cons:

Was in room 224 and was too much noise coming from staff members just opposite my door. TV had poor quality sound and had to rely on TikTok and Netflix from my phone.

Pros:

It fairly good!

Cons:

It would be better to be flexible with currency as they prefer to accept US dollar and they use 1 Eruo equivalent to a dollar which is not fair as the bank rate is about 1.16
