I was appalled when we saw the actual hotel - the photos on the ad must have been photoshopped, because it looked nothing like the pics - especially our room. Room was tiny, was not 2 twin beds as requested and pictured, and the bedding consisted of a fitted sheet with no top sheet - just a cotton throw which did not reach the sides of the bed. I do wonder about the validity of the reviews on this hotel....they can't have had the same experience. The breakfast was good, and Sabir on reception was a huge help to us...kudos to him. I needed to go home 2 days early (medical emergency) but the management would not refund the last 2 nights.
