Central Stay, Great Value and Location!

attractive pool areaconvenient bus stationexcellent breakfastgreat restaurant
The pool is definitely a highlight. It was very refreshing. The location was fantastic. I found it easy to reach the bus stations. A cafe adjacent to the hotel served a really good breakfast. I liked the excellent little bar and restaurant near the park too.
I noticed there was no drinking water available in the rooms.

average stay with minor issues

non-functional outletsexposed mattress
the newly renovated room had some odd design choices. there were numerous power outlets, but none actually worked (a bit useless, i thought). bedside lamps were absent, and the overhead lighting was excessively bright. the bathtub was unusable because the drain plug didn't seal. sheets also did not fully cover the mattress, so my feet were exposed. (i'm not sure what's worse, the lack of functionality or the harsh lighting.)

the hotel staff was friendly and helpful . i was happy with the complimentary drinking water provided each day. the nice pool offered a refreshing escape (it was very welcome). the hotel's security guard at night gave me peace of mind.
i found the deep bathtub without a curtain or screen inconvenient, water went everywhere. there were also no hooks or shelves in the bathroom to hang clothes.
