The staff were quite professional. I especially appreciated the kindness of mrşeyhmus. the location was also great. I found it very convenient.
The walls in my room had some dirt, a bit off-putting. also, i noticed some mould under a protrusion in the bathroom sink. It seemed like it hadn't been properly sanitised.
