Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Old and loud.
The hotel is very old and the tub is so deep and slippery. I was so scared of taking a shower. At night time there was partying and drinking until dawn. It gets so loud we couldn’t sleep. And in the morning trucks come by to collect alcohol bottles from the street.
