The tv remote had completely different volume settings than what i expected (like western models). it was annoying to constantly adjust it. also, i thought there could be more mirrors in the beautiful double room. One small mirrored door on the cupboard and one in the bathroom felt insufficient. hangers were another issue. There weren't enough in the cupboard for my needs. these details just.

my stay included smooth check-in, thanks to helpful staff. the restaurant offered prompt service and delicious food. i especially appreciated the attentive service from the driver who ensured my comfort while exploring the city. The room was clean and also well-kept.
the hotel had no green space for lounging. the absence of a swimming pool also limited relaxation options. I believe adding these amenities would enhance the guest experience. More seating areas on the balcony WOULD be nice too.
