Not worth the price, is not more than 2 stars
Hotel tried to cheat us by giving lower category room, when i showed them the booking photos they changed it. Had I not done this they would have forced me to stay in a lower category room which was awful, very small, stinking and dirty. Go to some other place, there are many better hotels.
