The facilities are not well maintained. For example, the lift is frequently broken or not functioning correctly. Air conditioning is inefficient and as such the property is humid and smells of damp. Bed linen is not always changed immediately after guests’ departure and the accommodations are dirty.
The shared bathrooms are reported to smelly, filthy and mouldy. If there is a door, it probably won’t have a lock so do not expect privacy when using the shower or toilet. Opt for a private room with en suite to avoid disappointment.
You’ll be in for an itchy night’s sleep here as many of the beds have bed bugs. The cockroaches don’t limit themselves to the kitchen or bathrooms, so expect to see them on the floors, walls and even under your bedding.
