Pros: affordable price, easy access to nearby night market and good service
Cons: room in terribly old condition, dust everywhere while the bed sheet kinda itchy, bathroom mat is disgusting, and the most terrible thing is we saw the review by local tv which it got so many cockroaches in the room

The first room we were shown we could not stay in, there was a heavy chlorine and smoke smell. They showed us to a second room, that was not cleaned properly and finally they upgraded us to a room that was quite nice, just the beds were very hard.

Low price
It was acceptable for the price. The hotel is old and needs repairs. Overall cleaniness could be improved but ok. Staff is friendly and the place is respectible with no seedy characters around.

Everything was at least decent minus the hardness of the bed. Although it's still better than being too soft. Area not great to find things to do, but a 5 minute cab from the rest of the city.
