the room was quite big. i liked the air conditioning with the heating function (it reached up to 30 degrees celsius during the winter months!). the wi-fi worked really well, it seemed like there was a minibar available. i appreciated how quiet it was on each side of the room.

i found that cleanliness could be improved, as it needed a bit more attention. however, i didn't face any significant issues .
