The worst room and hostel...

Liked: Just the breakfast.
Disliked: We paid for a room. Supposed was a suit but was the worst room ever. The bathroom door didn’t close. Shower bad, no cover, all the water out. NO AC. So warm inside the room and the staff didn’t give me a FAN…. They don’t have to many FAN… Also they were laughing…. We paid a lot of money for nothing.

Overall disappointing

Liked: Staff were friendly and the location was good
Disliked: The rooms themselves were tiny - nowhere near as big as in the photographs and were basic but generally clean and tidy. The shared bathroom facilities were very poor; excessive amounts of mould up the walls and floor in showers. I was worried of getting a disease when showering. No pegs to hang clothing on and cubicles were tiny so your clothes got soaked if you took them into the shower with you to changeWe also stayed during a few days of hot weather and there was no air conditioning, minimal ventilation throughout the room as the window only opens a crack. We asked staff for fans but they were all being used. We say people sleeping in the hallway because the rooms were so unbearably hot.There were also lots of unsupervised groups of school students staying and causing mayhem throughout the day and night. No sign of any teacher or responsible adult with them - we thought a hostel was quite an inappropriate location for this cohort of people considering they are sharing bathrooms with grown adult strangers. There were multiple groups like this.
