This place don’t have any workers in reception, and if you have check in problems, you must complain and wait (in my experience it takes around 1 hour) 2. There is no free water, microwave and luggage storage. 3. Because of no luggage storage,...

Also the overall quality of the dishes was mediocre and not very creative. The staff was very nice and polite, nothing to com...
