A night I would rather forget”

Place is quite dirty. Does not seem well taken care of. Check-in experience was not nice. The bed was not comfortable. I would not recommend anyone to go there. The place looks shady.

No hot water and very close to taxis”

I loved that my room the second time I went there had a heater.It kept me warm during the night.The place is clean and close to public transport.
I stayed there two times.On both occasions, there was no hot water to shower or take a bath .The first time the hot water came out and then stopped. The second time, I booked a different room .The water from that room was luke-warm I had to ask the receptionist to borrow me a kettle to boil water to bath.It was time-consuming for me to bath.

Tips for establishment”

The place is kept clean. Some staff are actually helpful and professional. The establishment is well maintained. The establishment is also close to shops and easy access to the roads and highways.
Some Staff members can be a bit rude when talking especially if certain rules aren't understood, they actually will argue with the paying customer. Also you don't have standard coffee and tea in the kitchen. Laundry is also charged extra and is not part of the bill, so it works out to be expensive, especially if a customer is on a budget.
