Pros:

The place was clean and safe

Cons:

The shower was not good at all, very small, the bunk bed was so close on top of the main one. So that cause many knocks on my head. TV only had few channels. I couldn't watch soccer

Pros:

Staff was friendly.

Cons:

Facilities need upgrade. Shower is terrible. Generator only works for lights and Wi-Fi so we had no air conditioning and couldn’t charge our devices in our rooms for 8 hours! Luckily the receptionist allowed us to charge at her work station. Still inconvenient but it’s not the staffs fault. Owners really need to take reviews seriously.
