Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
It all started with me arriving there ans my room was given to another guest that happened to have the same first name as me.. And I ended up sleeping in a terrible triple room. Electricity switches are hanging of the wall. The towels we completely worn out, breakfast was fast and good.. It said that there is a 24/7 reception but in fact it was just a security guy, speaks 0 English and couldn't assist us at night, but rather getting angry.
