Although the room was quite small, all the utilities were useful. The kitchens are more functions than most hotels I've been, coming with many utensils, kettle and most importantly, microwave.

The internet speed at this hotel has been so slow that we have to use our cell phone Wi-Fi. Even though it was explained that the Internet was available, it is not in a condition to be used to do even google. Please take this seriously and compensate us in monetary terms.
