large bathroom rooftop breakfast helpful staff
My room had a very large bathroom. Breakfast on the rooftop was delicious (especially the fresh juice!). The staff, particularly Ismael, provided great service. He was helpful .
The twin room I occupied was small. It also had very dark African-themed decor.
