Good service, but old.

The hotel is nice and the service very good, but it is old and is showing it. The rooms are large but carpets and furniture are old and worn down. There were also small insects/cockroaches that sometimes appeared in the bathroom. The hotel has not thought about the environment - like delivering additional tubes of soap, shampoo and hand soap everyday even if the previous ones were still unused.
