the breakfast offered a good variety of options and tasted quite good. the building itself had a beautiful exterior, it was easy to find too.
i could hear the person snoring in the room next to me throughout the night, it was quite disturbing. every time someone used a tap, it sounded as if the sink in my room was being used.

The curry I ordered tasted quite watery. The spices in it seemed raw.
