This hotel violates all hotel laws in hygiene and maintenence!! They know it but don't care at all and aren't even ashamed to let guests sleep in their rooms. The words 'extremely unhygienic' is still an understatement of how dirty the hotel and rooms in general is. Booked 4 nights, stayed 2 nights and even these 2 nights were too much and made me ill, and I usually don't get ill fast.
The worst part are the aircon units that never seen any cleaning, there are brown stalactites formed from dust growing out of the filters. That's an infestation of bacteria gets blown into the air that you breathe in constantly. Not even mentioning the penetrating smell of it. You guaranteed get a lung infection of that!! Which I actually did.
Unfortunately even cleaning the aircon units wouldn't solve all the other problems that are far to long neglected, so I didn't bothered asking them to do.
The pictures of the standard rooms are misleading and are pictures from the superior rooms of - I guess 25 years ago - when they were still fairly newly refurbished. I immediately asked for an upgrade to a superior room, which I got straight away without any extra payment, so that assumes they are used to guests asking for this, but it didn't really improved the situation. There is zero maintenance done in the rooms, the paint is peeling off the walls, and not in small amounts, but half of some walls and ceilings are peeling off and are replaced with fungus growth. They 'clean' the rooms with a dirty old mop and brown/blackish water that goes from room to room, so instead of cleaning, they actually spread out all the dirt coming from the previous room into the other room, and that's going over all the rooms. After I saw that I immediately left a note in the room they didn't had to clean my room during my 'stay'.
In short, this hotel is ready for demolishment, there's no chance a renovation will solve...
Read moreSoooo for this price point, you have to be realistic about what you're getting. I know this as well as any rational adult. The towl rack in the shower being broken wasn't a deal breaker, the AC not really working was something I could endure, the fact that the bathroom sink didnt actually turn off I could even live with... but I think it's reasonable to draw the line at water dripping from a moldy ceiling. I'll be honest, I didn't notice it when I first checked into the room. Dropped my things off and wandered down to the beach. Came back to the sound of dripping and thought the bathroom sink situation had taken some new unfortunate turn... no... it wasn't until I reached for the toilet paper and discovered it to be soaked through that I thought to look up... and discovered the attached picture... again, as reasonable adults, we can all look at that level of mold and know it did not happen overnight. The reparation, you ask? I was moved into the room next door that had 2 twins instead of the 1 queen I'd booked online. I can accept "you get what you pay for" but within a degree of reasonableness. This, friends, is beyond the pale. My room was 7B on the ground floor nearly furthest away from the desk so reviews talking about rooms on the second level being in an equal state of disrepair should paint a picture that staying here is a really rolling the dice. Oh and as a bonus, as I'm trying to bring this rant to a close, I discover that behind the closed curtains of my room a window is open so I shall be sharing an accommodation with representatives of the local mosquito...
Read moreWorst hotel expirience ever. A true nightmare. First of all, the building was soooo old and poorly maintained, theres cracks everywhere on the ground, as well as equally as many stains. The place just seemed really sketchy. After we got our rooms, is where we relized how atrocious this place is. The rooms reeked, the bathrooms reeked, there was mold and dust everywhere. There were brown stains on the toilet seat, and stains on the mirror, as well as holes and stains on the pillows, blankets and bedsheets and my washroom door couldnt even close. Also, the key literaly broke, which they made us pay for LOL, as we tried to unlock the room (all this was room 5a). We complained and did get "upgraded" rooms (we had to pay extra, :/) we thought it would be better because of newer rooms, but it really wasnt. The molds, staines, holes and stench remained. Out of our two rooms, one had useless door, because even when locked it could be easily opened, and the other had no wifi!! Imagine paying for this... . There was also a bug problem in all of the 4 rooms we had visited, where we found many mosquitos, ants, and even a lizard on the wall. The only good thing about this hotel is the location (walking distance from market and the beach) and the price, but neither are worth the stay. To recap, this place is stinky, broken, dirty, old and never cleaned. I would stay away...
