We stayed three nights in this hotel. The hotel is cheap (about 15-16k for three nights), well located and the staff is very friendly and helpful. The hotel itself looks like an old glory that is ageing and almost dying. If you close a window, you end up having the window door knob in your hand. If you close the curtains, the whole curtain falls from the ceiling, and if you sit on the toilet you see the paint falling from the walls. I found that charming but for some people it can be a negative experience. I don’t mind about these things so much so I had a good stay and liked the staff. But if you are critical in the sense of hygiene you should go to another hotel (and pay double price).
