Mixed Experience, Some Issues Noted

sulfur water small room
The shower water smelled strongly of sulfur, which I found unpleasant. The receptionist said this was normal for the country but other hotels I stayed at did not have this problem. Our triple room was small with little space for luggage. The slanted roof made it difficult to stand up straight in places.
