My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The room was nice and clean, but the bed was a bit small. The staff, especially Linny, were not very knowledgeable about the city but were approachable and friendly. The location was convenient, but it was a bit challenging to find local food options. The dining experience was worth it with traditional dishes, but there was room for improvement. Overall, the value for money was decent.
