mixed feelings about the stay

poor lighting questionable plumbing

Honestly, i wasn't blown away. the room felt a bit gloomy, and i struggled to find decent lighting for, well, anything. also, the promised 'authentic' experience included some seriously questionable plumbing. The water pressure fluctuated more wildly than my travel budget. and about that courtyard view? it mostly overlooked the air conditioning units, which, while functional, weren't exactly picturesque.

beautiful grounds outdoor pool clean towels helpful staff

The architecture displays an authentic feel, complemented by beautiful grounds and a pretty outdoor pool area. My room included bottled water, clean towels, and snacks, which i found very accommodating. I thoroughly enjoyed the food in the restaurants. The quality and variety were excellent. The staff members were helpful and professional, always ready to assist with a smile.

The wooden windows do not block noise from the street very effectively which i found to be a minor issue
