The Hotel looks good and has beautiful bath robes. On the negative side, the bathroom floor has a large number of dirty old cracked tiles, there was no convenient charging point for my iPhone, there were continuous strange noises, thin walls.and the restaurant does not open for breakfast. Two Stars max.
