Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Worst experience ever, we saw a space in our wardrobe which was very scary. Its presence raised questions about the integrity of the establishment and left us feeling deeply unsettled throughout our stay. The walls and curtains appeared neglected and unclean, leaving an impression of poor maintenance and hygiene standards. Also, the absence of air conditioning compounded our discomfort, particularly during warmer periods although it was mentioned on the website that rooms have AC facilities.
