I had a nice time here. Receptionists always kind and helpful. They even organised a dinner buffet for Christmas. I had a double room with bathroom and it was perfect for my needs. No cockroaches. Window can be opened (but not view because of a wall but personally it didn’t annoyed me since there’re other buildings very close and I wanted to have some privacy)
