If you value your self-respect and basic hygiene, avoid spending even a single night at this hotel. The place was extremely unhygienic, and throughout the night there were drug users roaming the corridors shouting and making loud noise. The bed smelled unpleasant and felt poorly maintained, while the toilet had thick dark-brown crusting that looked like it had not been properly cleaned for ages. After this experience, I would genuinely rather borrow some extra money and stay in a slightly more expensive hotel than ever return here again.

Avoid this hotel, I’ve seen homeless hostels cleaner and safer than this. Room door didn’t lock securely, the bed was broke, the mattress was like sleeping on concrete, electrical wiring hanging out the walls, suspicious brown stains on walls/ceilings, no headboard, no bedside tables, stunk of stale cigarettes and that’s just the room. The rest of the hotel was not much better, only spent 3 hours here before leaving as we couldn’t stand it any longer.
