We stayed here for a week.
Pros:
1. Quiet and peaceful area, around 10-15 minutes by taxi to the lively part of the city.
2. Many cafes and restaurants nearby.
3. Beautiful lobby area.
4. Double-glazed windows with mosquito screens.
5. There was a bathtub, but no desire to use it.
6. Good, fast Wi-Fi.
Cons:
1. The room wasn’t cleaned properly. Clearly, there was no housekeeping after the previous guests—there was hair everywhere, and the bathroom slippers were damp.
2. Very low ceilings in the room, making it feel dark and cool, like a basement.
3. A gap in the window allowed large mosquitoes inside, there were bloody marks on the walls.
4. There’s a washing machine on the 3rd floor, but we didn’t want to use it as it was dirty and dusty. We went to a nearby laundromat instead.
5. Bedside chargers didn’t work, and the mirror was placed extremely low—suitable for dwarfs.
6. Mold in the bathroom tile joints. Water from the shower flowed directly into the toilet area drain.
7. Under the sheets was a squeaky plastic mattress protector that made constant noise.
8. Nothing remarkable nearby; nowhere interesting to go.
9. Trash must be handed over at the reception. The staff doesn’t speak English at all.
10. The room has slippers, but they’re used and smelly. Better to bring your own.
Not recommended.
