mixed feelings about my stay

great staffsmall roomconstant noise

the staff was great.

The room was quite small and lacked space for luggage. I ended up living out of my suitcase. also, the noise from the nearby market was constant. It made relaxing in the room difficult. the breakfast selection, while varied, didn't impress me much either.
