i found the staff very friendly and cute. the dining options seemed perfect and the food was of great quality (i really enjoyed the service too). the room was also clean and tidy, with room service every day.
i noticed the building seemed quite run down upon first impression. i also thought there was a lack of security, you could just wander in and go up to the rooms.

I loved the connecting room with bunk bed and two bathrooms. the air conditioning in the rooms was very effective, looked like a brand new unit to me, i was impressed. i also appreciated the modern bathroom with good showers and a large tub. breakfast was also good. the hotel's cleanliness overall was a big positive for me. the room was lovely, room service was prompt and the price was great.
The sauna wasn't really hot, that could be updated. i also felt that the buffet could have more fresh fruit like apples and bananas. They aren't that expensive, though the options were satisfactory
