average stay, disappointing details

good locationcarpet stainspoor shower design
The location was good. It was close to the places i needed to go.
The room had some issues though. There were stains on the carpet, and the bathroom layout was poorly designed. the shower floor sloped in the wrong direction. Water did not drain properly, causing the bathroom floor to flood every time i showered. this was quite frustrating, and i expected better for the price.

the hotel offered a clean room that was spacious. reception staff were friendly and quick to assist. its location was ideal for walking to the station and nearby markets. a balcony area provided a space to relax before going out for the evening.
the television offered limited channels and slow response times. i found navigating the handset quite frustrating.

Adequate City Stay

convenient locationbreakfast varietymalfunctioning air conditioningnoticeable noise
The hotel's location was convenient. It made accessing nearby attractions simple. The breakfast included a good variety of options (I especially enjoyed the pastries).
The room's air conditioning did not function. I informed the front desk, but they only offered a fan. The noise from nearby rooms was also noticeable.
