The personnel at the front desk is very friendly and helpful in arranging taxi transpota, giving directions for dinning , shopping , many other. I’ve stayed at the Yisam 3 times before & my experience has been acceptable. The only negative aspects I’ve encountered is that the bathrooms are very small. Also, the individual who supervises the terrace restaurant & daily breakfast is very unfriendly & sometimes rude without provocation. Dr. Carlos J. Bourdony

A small improvement can make it the best hotel.

The blanket size should be big enough to cover the body of an adult properly. The tooth brush provided should be of better quality - with softer bristles. Apart from these small things, really no complaints. Stuffs are super friendly, helpful ans welcoming. Overall a great stay experience.
