I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The staff were friendly and the location was convenient, but the lack of room windows and shared bathroom were minor drawbacks. The room had a comfy mattress, which was a plus. The value for money was reasonable.

The hotel was ideally situated near the bus terminal, making it very convenient for traveling. The rooms were basic but clean and provided all the necessary amenities. The staff advised me to speak directly with the manager for any special requests. However, the lack of fans in the rooms during hot weather was a downside. The price was affordable, but there were no additional value-added services included.

The hotel is nicely located in the city center, close to many places of interest. The rooms are simple but clean, and the service is prompt and accommodating. However, the lack of an external window in my room was a drawback. The dining options were limited, but overall, it was a decent stay for the price paid.
