It was the worse place to stay. We arrived afternoon the room was not yet ready / prepared. Room was smelling, toilet was not working properly and we were struggling to to lock the door we end up leaving it unlocked. We also booked for breakfast, around 9h00 manager didn't inform the shef about the breakfast for two days waiting for them to prepare breakfast for us. Stuff was not friendly to us. Service was terribly bad. The place was dirty even at the reception, bedding stuff was lying around.
