It was all pretty dreadful. Guy at check in was friendly and tried to be helpful, so he gets the most points for trying.
He couldn't find my reservation, but he was also having to juggle so many other things at once.
I eventually get my room. The stink in the room hits me immediately. Bad drains. I open the only tiny window that opens in the room.
Go to unpack, only to find there's nowhere to put my clothes. No drawers or wardrobe. Ok. I take a shower. Now the shower was good, although the "free" soap on the wall was empty, luckily I bought my own. The shower was hot and was nice.
I sit on the bed. The mattress is as thin as a toddlers bunk bed mattress from the 1970s.
Then I notice the massive leak from the shower between the sink and the shower base, and I realise what the smell was. They have a massive leak. I walk over the carpet to investigate, and the carpet is soaking wet. Hope beyond hope from that same leak!
Try to "WhatsApp" reception, but the WiFi doesn't work on the 3rd floor.
They also try to charge you "damage deposit". I've stayed in hotels all over the world, and have never come across this. If you pay an additional surcharge they'll waive this "deposit" (they'll refund in 10-14 working days). Oh, and I had prepaid, so they already had my card details had there been any damage.
All in all, I'd advise anyone thinking of staying there to go elsewhere. Yes, it's a room over your head and it cheap, and evidently so. Room was filthy. See window photos
