overpriced and underwhelming stay

musty smellsubpar cleanliness

I found the experience quite disappointing. the room i stayed in was not well kept, and i noticed a distinct musty smell. The air conditioning barely helped. the cleanliness was subpar. I saw dust everywhere. additionally, the high prices for small servings at the restaurant reminded me of a rip-off. It really added to the overall letdown

i really liked using whatsapp to communicate before i got there. i could use the co-work space when i arrived early, a great convenience. my daughter enjoyed the fun yoga lesson. it was nice that the hotel had quiet hours for those of us waking up early.

the breakfast could have had more variety, it seemed a little limited.

I appreciated the hotel location. It had easy access for walking around the city. The hostel also arranged trips. This was especially needed if you do not have a car. People were nice and shared spaces made meeting new people easier.

Selina was unfortunately a bit disappointing. The room was not clean. It was also very humid. One of the two main lights did not work properly.

I found the hostel's location convenient and it had free parking.

The room lock did not work correctly and gave me security concerns. The shared bathrooms was also very open, it was like a public cubicle. I think they should do more for security and privacy.
