This place is run down, shoddy, loud and dangerous. What a terrible stay. You’ll be lured to book it because its rates are lower but you will regret that as I now do. The stairs are so steep that you could literally fall to your death trying to struggle a heavy suitcase up there. The step treads are barely 6 inches. No doorman to help. The rooms are tiny and broken down. Like the tiny single table in my room that was falling out of the wall.

DO NOT stay here if you want a good night’s SLEEP

On the plus side, the reception/bar staff were friendly. Also a fan was provided in the room. On the minus side, the room was small, had a shared bathroom and toilet and the promised toiletries amounted to one small bottle of body wash - for my entire three nights. The decor was dated and the shelf inside the wardrobe was stained. The television was minuscule and placed at the head of the bed, making it impossible to view when in bed. The main problem is the constant noise. I knew the “hotel” was in the Red Light District, so was expecting noise outside, and in fairness the windows blocked out most of it. It was the noise inside the hotel that ensured I did not have one good night’s sleep. The rooms are so crammed together that anyone entering a room is going to disturb neighbouring occupants as there is no way of closing the doors quietly. As a result I was woken throughout the night and every morning at around 07:30 by multiple banging doors. On my final day the cleaning staff appeared to have started at around 08:00 adding to the noise preventing anyone from sleeping in. The “hotel” is more suited to be a hostel for backpackers. I would not recommend this place to anyone wanting a decent night’s sleep.

I was very, very upset and disappointed in this hotel. It was not an accurate description. It is a hostel, and it's a one star at a Max and definitely not worth it. And it lies it says, there's air conditioning, there's no air conditioning. You open a window, and that's it. The bathrooms and the shower are down. The hall and they're nasty. So needless to say, I wasted a lot of money on a p o.S hotel

There was no warning about the three flights of stairs that were closer to climbing a stepladder than a staircase. Then there was another steep climb in the room to get down to the shared bathroom which was also not mentioned .
