My room was spacious and spotlessly clean, with modern décor. It had a comfortable bed, a modern bathroom, and a safe large enough for a laptop, so I definitely enjoyed my stay.

adequate stay near the station

super clean roomworking airconbasic hotelbreakfast arrangement
My room had a super clean feel! the cleaning service maintained it nicely . It was great. the air conditioning worked wonderfully, i must say. the desk staff let me keep my bags after i checked out, that helped me see some more sights.
The hotel felt very basic, i was shocked. the single bed felt small, especially the pillows. It was uncomfortable. breakfast was at a bar, not the hotel. i wasn't so happy with that setup.
