We went to stay, not knowing the set up was more like a hostel than hotel. Once we finally registered and paid, we went up to our room in a rickety elevator that had graffiti on the outside near the up/down buttons. The hallway was littered with garbage. We arrived at our room and discovered scuffs on the wall, a window so drafty the curtains were moving while the window was shut, and our TV screen was broken. Also, the restroom was outside our room (we assumed was a shared restroom with the room next to us, but it’s just not INSIDE the room). Complained to the staff that we weren’t going to stay on the property due to the conditions. They offered us a different room, but we declined. We did not stay more than 10 minutes, provided name and email address. Ended up staying elsewhere. Called Expedia and the original hotel/hostel refused to reimburse us due to their offering us a different room. Worst hotel experience. Thankfully we have travel insurance so we may have to file a claim to get our $400 back.

The front desk agent gave my information away to the other guests in the stay. Gave away my personal information and payment information to the other guests in the room. Other guests in the room should not have access to the information about the one who booked it.

This place was one of the most unpleasant places I have ever stayed at. To begin with, we checked into our room which had not been cleaned from the previous occupants. Then after they switched our rooms, they ran out of towels, linen and key cards so we had to share 2 of each between 6. The paid buffet breakfast is atrocious and has no hot food. The staff are about as useless as an ashtray on a motorbike. And finally it’s in a very dodgy area. Couldn’t discourage people further from staying here.
