The staff was rude. The place is overall kind of dirty. The staff cleaned my bed after ny first night and a bunch of my things got lost: my sleeping mask, charger and a cap. The staff did not help me at all to get my things back and instead lied to me. Cannot recommend at all, do not get fooled by all the positive reviews here or on google maps, I suspect they are farmed reviews.
