Nice place, well connected, they definitely need to sort out the Roaches!!

4.0

The good Staff was friendly, the connectivity to every thing was superb. They left quite a few things to nibble on with free juice, water, biscuits, some sort of cake. It was super nice. Bad The room offered was right next to the office. I could hear every check in check out, each question and conversation clearly. On day one I was trying to get a nap at 3 in the afternoon and I kept getting disturbed. I had to step in and ask them to close the door. It was 3-4 days of loud conversations. Cockroaches. The bathroom had a sanitation issue. I found roaches walking around the bathroom and I had to kill one take a picture and ask for it to be sorted. It was specifically asked if the room had a channel with the World Cup match going on. The guy in the reception confirmed yes. I returned to my room to check in the night to find that it was not. I spoke to him about it, he shrugged and said sorry.

Honestly, the Roaches was what threw me off. I can get by the bad communication of the TV channel and the really loud reception. There is another google review about the roaches. https://maps.app.goo.gl/DWFtpUb7CNnbTSg17?g_st=ic
