The staff welcomed me warmly upon arrival. Ali provided clear entry and exit information. My room had a sizable Smart TV and a very comfortable bed. The shared bathroom, though shared, remained as clean as possible.

The walls were quite thin, allowing sound to travel easily from neighboring rooms.

misleading photos shared bathroom

The photos were definitely misleading. The room felt more like a hostel, honestly. The shared bathroom was especially grim. It reminded me of they could easily improve the guest experience if they invested some money and time into the rooms, ESPECIALLY the bathroom.
