Okay room, some issues
clean roomcurry smellpoor service
The room was clean enough and reasonably spacious. The staff handled check-in efficiently.
There was a very strong curry smell throughout the building. It was particularly noticeable in our room. I found the customer service from the owner to be poor (a letdown, really). He seemed rude and unwelcoming upon arrival and barely spoke to us .

The room was clean and well presented, offering decent value for the price.
The staff member I encountered at the front desk was quite rude and unwelcoming. I also found a strong unpleasant smell in the reception area and communal spaces. The room lacked a shower and bath mat, so I had to use a towel instead.
