fine arraylocal specialtieseasy walking distanceunsafe area
the breakfast buffet presented a fine array of choices and local specialties. i found the management very prompt in replying to queries on whatsapp. the hotel is within easy walking distance of the airport bus stop if you don't have much baggage.
i found the location slightly outside the main attractions. it felt a little less secure at night, requiring extra caution.

noisy air conditioningunsafe neighborhood
I was quite disappointed with a few aspects of my stay. the air conditioning was quite noisy, and it disrupted my sleep a bit. also, the neighborhood wasn't the best. I noticed some prostitution and dark alleys within a short walk. i didn't feel safe walking around there at night.
