Guest reviews

My one-night stay at this hotel was the worst accommodation I've ever had. I booked through Expedia, where it was advertised as having a private bathroom, towels, toiletries, and Wi-Fi. However, the reality was far from this description. The bathroom was unusable, with a big crack across multiple tiles. The hot tap did not work in the shower or the sink. The toilet was missing parts and couldn't flush, making it effectively non-functional. Additionally, the door connecting my room to the next was damaged, with a knob that had fallen off, leaving a hole through which I could see into the other room. This door didn't close properly, leaving a 1 cm gap at the top and bottom, so I could hear my neighbors whispering. One of the beds had unclean linen with blood stains, and the ceiling above the bed had a large stain, indicating a big leak when it rains. Thankfully, it didn't rain during my stay. There was no sign of towels and toiletries and the Wi-Fi was non-functional, despite the efforts of the receptionist, who was very nice but unable to fix the issue. I would never recommend this property and believe it should be removed from booking platforms, or at least come with a warning that it deserves only 1 star out of 10. The area between different buildings had some slight charm with small paths surrounded by lush green plants but it was also poorly maintained and of course could not compensate the horrible condition of the room.

This property is highly overpriced for what you get. We went through three rooms - the first room had broken doors with actual holes through them, broken towel racks left broken and sitting on the ground, and the kicker no toilet seat. We asked if it was normal for the room at $100 US a night to be like this.. we waited for another room that was super small and SO hot.. the bathroom had actual chunks missing out of the sink and bath... ants EVERYWHERE!!... no hot water! We asked for hot water for them to say we could use another room to shower and go back to our room... When we walked into a third room that was HUGE, nice tile floor... BIG bed A/C and (minimal hot water) Why did it take three rooms to get a room that was SOMEWHAT liveable?!? We wasted $200 American on this place but it was a big festival and things were hard to get into.. DON'T stay here.

Bathroom and shower unit were crammed together with no space to move around. Breakfast was served cold

I stayed for two nights. There was a power outage both nights. Therefore, Wi-Fi was also unavailable. Breakfast was supposed to be served from 7 am, but it wasn't available until after 8 am. Despite having a confirmed reservation, it took an hour to check in because I didn't have the printed English voucher.

A lodging facility I never want to stay at again. I had booked a 3-bedroom but was accommodated in a small 1-bedroom because I was alone. I should be refunded.
