i had a standard twin room. the staff was very friendly. i was greeted by the front desk (especially anish) who was very helpful. the breakfast offered a good variety.
the room did not have a fridge (it was chargeable at 5€ per day). the a/c is centrally controlled, so individual control was not possible. the pillows were not very comfortable, and i had some trouble sleeping.

breakfast buffetloud musiccentrally controlled air conditioning
the breakfast buffet was acceptable (nothing special, but filled me up before heading out).
The noise was a huge problem. i had a "standard double room balcony" and the music from nearby clubs throbbed until early morning. Earplugs were provided, but they barely helped. additionally, the air conditioning seemed centrally controlled. I couldn't adjust it to my liking, a rather unpleasant situation (especially considering the room's temperature).

The location proved wonderful with bus stations nearby. our room offered ample space. it felt inviting. the swimming pool next door brought some joy. It required a short walk, yet was a nice addition. the breakfast had good options and included a top-floor restaurant with excellent views.
sometimes, i felt the music from nearby clubs persisted until late hours. i used earplugs to get some rest.
