6.2/10

The hotel has its perks, particularly its friendly staff and cleanliness. However, the small and outdated rooms left much to be desired, especially with noise from the air conditioning. The rooftop pool was disappointing, as it was often closed, and the dining options lacked variety, particularly for breakfast. Overall, while the location is great, I wouldn't rate it as a top choice for a longer stay.
