convenient location pleasant experience traditional bath poor drainage hard mattress awful pillow

The location was convenient. i found the service to be good, and the culture was a very pleasant experience. i especially liked the facilities like the pool and the traditional baths. it felt so close to many tourist spots. I only walked to reach the grand bazaar.

The shower was a problem. It didn't drain properly. the mattress felt hard and not very comfortable for me. the pillows also felt quite awful.
