Excellent location

Accommodations were basic but clean and the staff were very helpful and kind. The location was very perfect for us . My only recommendation would be some eggs for the breakfast and black tea. It was not easy to find by the address, taxi couldn’t find it but by my map (maps.me) it was easy.
