In our 18 months backpacking through Asia and the Middle East, this was probably the "funkiest" place we stayed. It was a bit out of our price range but we loved the look of it so much we stayed anyway. The rooms are well thought out and have everything you could need (free broadband internet, coffee maker, flat screen TV,... more

When we arrived, our room looked as if someone had been staying there already i.e. unmade beds, things on the counter, etc. Staff speaks little English so it's hard to get a point across or ask questions.

But that is almost the only thing great about it. The rooms are tiny and have no ventilation or natural light, the carpet looks like even cleaning will no longer help, and they... more
