I found the room spacious with a comfortable bed. A walk-in shower was available, I appreciated this. The staff was friendly and helpful, especially at reception.
The air conditioning did not work very well. I kept it on the highest setting, but it did not make a difference. I also found some small flies near the food during breakfast.. The plates looked a bit unclean.
