the staff were friendly and helpful. the location was convenient, within walking distance to shops and restaurants. the bed and pillows were very comfortable. i also appreciated the cleanliness after the first night, a very good service indeed.
the air conditioning was too warm. i tried to adjust it, but it seemed pre-set. there were no screens on the doors, so i couldn't sleep with the doors open.
