a few snags but overall acceptable

great location excellent location various options many breakfast options close proximity close location musty shower dirty shower small balcony limited balcony limited hours late pool
the location was excellent. i appreciated being close to the archaeological museum. the breakfast offered many options, which i enjoyed.
The shower head had a musty smell, which i did not like. the balcony was quite small. I couldn't really sit out there. the rooftop pool didn't open until 10 a.m.. That was a bit late for me.

mixed feelings about my stay

thin walls small bathroom
the room i had was somewhat disappointing. the walls seemed thin, i could hear a lot of noise from the corridor outside, not ideal. also, the bathroom was smaller than i anticipated, with the sink located outside it. these issues affected my overall comfort and made it difficult to fully relax.

rooftop pool fantastic location
the rooftop pool was a fantastic bonus and it had a cafe with great food. i could use the pool area while waiting for my late flight. the location is ideal, near the archaeological museum and buses to everywhere. you are right in the center of town for eating and exploring.
the bathtub was not good. there was a ring of mold around the edge where the vinyl meets the tub and there was water in the tub with flecks of mold. i didn't bathe .
