main squaredark roomthin curtain
the location was just off the main square, so it was easy to find.
i was really disappointed during my five nights. the room was large but dark. the awful brown curtains provided were made from a cheesecloth-like material and had no blackout layer. every morning at 5:30, the sun was coming up right into our eyes through these thin curtains.

decent workoutbrick wall viewuseless blind
the gym had enough equipment for a decent arm workout, i suppose.
I was really let down by the room i was shown to initially, it faced a brick wall that was practically touching the window. there was a roof window, i guess for people on the roof terrace to watch us. the blind didn't block any light. It was quite useless
