The neighborhood is CRIME filled, GRIMEY streets, the hotel has NO AMMENITIES (the bar area was closed & was in a very disheveled state), NO AIR CONDITIONING (I was told by... more

The hotel's style is very informal. Staff isn't multilingual, some hardly speek english, but they are very frendly and helpful and try to make your stay nice. But if you want to have e-mail correspondence, then don't even try to wright.. (we made reservation via travel agency). Rooms are.. small.. but with french balcony.. if you need hotel just for... more

Rooms were very very small and smelly. Could not tolerate the smell, Blankets, bed sheets and pillow covers were smelly, This hotel cannot be rated as 3 star. It does not come anywhere close to 3* hotel. There are other hotels which are small but better maintained and much more clean. I saw a few of the guests walk away... more
