The staff in reception 'checked us in and out' but no info on hotel facilities and both had rude, uncaring attitude. The interior is totally run down. The bed base in Room 110 was broken so bad nights sleep. The mattress and pillows too soft and old. Tge linen was nit the cleanest and towels small and hard. The floor was not straight, it had ripples in it. There were crushed nuts and food on the floor so obviously the room had not been cleaned carefully, if at all. Good thing we're not allergic to nuts!! The walls, ceilings and floors are paper thin, so could hear the man next door shouting at the person he was with and using the toilet. Could hear the people above us. Doors banging all night long. Pipes making noises all night. Surprised they dare charged what they do, even if comparatively cheap

Was aware of the low ratings for this hotel, but realized that it was really that bad when we got there. If not for the cheap price, i wouldn't consider staying there again. I guess you get what you pay for. 😔

First room we went into had a strong stench of cigarettes and the bed sheets were damp. Went to reception and they gave us 3 keys for different rooms to try out. Each had their own issues. Dusty and unkept rooms. Very outdated

Never again, this hotel is shocking
The rooms were dusty, and the double base was broken on the left side at bottom. There was an 18th birthday party that went on until 3am, the fire alarm kept going off at this time as people were smoking in their rooms, there was a stench of canabis on the second floor corridor. Some guests never considered others after 12am and were noisy in there rooms. Upon early check out at 0530am the night receptionist was room, when trying to complain, he just said put the keys in the box, good bye
