pretty view coffee machine

The staff were cute upon arrival. the room was spacious. it felt romantic. i enjoyed the breakfast variety and that it came with a pretty view. the hotel had a coffee machine and a water dispenser available for free. I found this convenient. i appreciated the cleanliness. i would visit again.

I found the lack of shampoo in the shower odd. there were two bottles of shower gel. This was illogical.

i stayed in a triple beautiful room. the hotel provided free unlimited packaged drinking water, a much appreciated service. breakfast had a very elaborate spread, including many types of cheeses. the staff assisted with luggage pickup, a thoughtful gesture.

i noticed the prayers from a nearby mosque were audible every morning. if you like to sleep late, this might be something to consider. however, it added to the cultural experience.

The room i stayed in definitely showed its age. there were stains on the carpet and the furniture looked worn. i also found the breakfast layout a bit confusing. Items weren't logically placed together, it created a slightly chaotic experience. the hotel needs some attention to detail.
