the breakfast buffet included many options. there were even options that catered to dietary needs such as gluten-free options. the staff were helpful with storing luggage before check-in and after check-out.
i found the bathroom to be quite small. the shower was particularly small (i could barely move around in it).

The location is convenient and easy to get to with lots of good restaurants around. the breakfast was a favourite. Plenty of beautiful, fresh pastries and some hot food too. the kitchen staff were very attentive and friendly every morning. This was superb.
There is no air circulation and you can't turn the ac on. Even with the heat off it was warm. i had to open the balcony door a crack to get some air and was eaten alive by mosquitoes in november!
