  : Very cheap and in a good location, neighbourhood is very international with good food and services.
  : Property is listed with free parking - with free parking they mean a residential area 2mins walk from the hotel where the parking is free. Stairs hadn't been cleaned for quite some time, bathroom was basically a small room, I never thought I could take a shower while sitting on the toilet. There was no bin in the room or shampoo/body wash

  : Staff was nice. The bed itself was comfortable, but
  : A musky, moldy odor emanates from the rooms as soon as you leave the reception area. When we opened our room we were hit with a wave of cigarette and weed smell. The kind thats baked deep within the walls. The bed sheets were stained throughout, including the telltale signs (sporadic dark spots, light brown smears of what was once probably blood) of bed bugs. We checked thoroughly in every crevice in the bed and room and couldnt find any evidence of a current infestation, thankfully. As we checked we noticed that any cleaning that happens is superficial at best. There is dirt and dust in all the corners, and remnants of food wrappers that one couldnt possibly miss if they were thoroughly cleaning. A used rag was wedged in between the mattress and box springs. There are stains all over the walls and furniture. The flush handle is broken. The shower is practically right over the toilet. No hair dryer is provided. No soap. No tv controller. Some of the above could be forgiven if we were young, broke backpackers. But they charge only slightly less than proper hotels.

  : The Egyptian restaurant beside, and the supermarket close by. In the hotel, nothing.
  : The room is very cold. Inefficient air conditioning. No bins at all, only in the toilet. I had to use a bag for that. Very small toilet, which has the shower, the sink, and the toilet seat basically attached to each other. Also, there are no soap, shampoo, or any basic hygiene products. No kettles, fridge, kitchen, or anything like. The receptionist is never at the reception. I had to ring him when I arrived. I will never be back there.
