basic stay with some issues

small room no air conditioning

the staff were friendly, i will say that much.

The room was quite small. I found that inconvenient. there was also no air conditioning. The absence made the room very uncomfortable in the heat. additionally, the windows could not be opened, made the room stuffy.

faulty tap limited tools

the family room was appropriate with bunkbeds equipped with charging points.

the tap in the sink was faulty. i noticed bathrooms received cleaning only once during my two-night stay, resulting in an unpleasant smell the second morning. the kitchen was rather small with limited tools for cooking.
