My room was super clean and cozy. it also felt quite large for a standard double room. the real coffee making machine was a plus. It used proper filtered coffee pods, not the normal rubbish sachets.

The breakfast was lovely. The manager, muhammed, happily made poached eggs for us right away.

The room was a bit outdated, i felt, and not very clean at all. I saw flies in the light and a wet patch beside the bed, which i stepped in, and there was a stain on the carpet though.
