The room had slightly dim lighting. This made reading in the evening a little difficult.

i found the location quite convenient. it was easy enough to find (even for someone like me). the staff, especially said, were genuinely helpful. said offered advice and always had tea ready in the courtyard.
the mattress was not good. i think they should offer better quality beds. the sheets felt a bit like paper (which wasn't ideal). sheets were not changed .
