We loved our breakfast@fort bazaar hotel.
Great location.
Negative: Standard room on the first floor smelled bad, could be mold. The key lock of the deluxe room on the second floor is half broken and we had difficulties every time we tried to unlock the door.
Construction work going on right next door and the noise was constant from 7am in the morning..
