You might want to look at other options if you don't like the thought of having to walk through a dark, wet, smelly alleyway to get to your hotel which, during the day, is lined with food vendors preparing meals for delivery or packed lunches for people on their way to the office.
The reception staff are indifferent and, if arriving or leaving the hotel earlier than 8 in the morning, there's no one to help in lugging your heavy luggage up/down the stairs.
The lounge doubles as the restaurant/bar, and the staff don't seem very bothered by the hygienic threat in the form of a street feline which frequents the area and likes to carry her lunch/breakfast across the room from the street under the tables between the diners' feet. The restaurant staff don't speak English much; they gave us an additional orange juice instead when we asked for our breakfast bill.
The rooms are very small but sufficient if all you want at the end of the day is a large clean bed, a clothes rail, a television and a small fridge. The bathroom consists of the most basic necessities-- a toilet bowl, a sink and a showerhead. Maid service is an extra so you might want to try and keep your room as tidy as you can if you're on a budget. The A/C provides welcome cold air when coming in from the hot sun, and it isn't loud so you can be sure that's not what's going to keep you up at night.
What WILL keep you up, however, is the noise from the surrounding bars and within the hotel. The door hinges are so squeaky that you can hear whenever someone opens or closes a door on your floor; the walls, too, are quite thin so you can hear conversations going on in the room beside yours.

| "Reasonable value for money, however even superior room was pretty small!
Taxis couldn't find it so route description could be better.
Actually it it is much better when the taxi stops at the bigger road (name I forgot). From there it is the shortest walk to the hotel and no dark alley!" |
