Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Bit disappointed by the size of the room - there was barely enough room to put my suitcase anywhere. Also struggled to get any internet access at times (not wifi, just normal phone access) - it's like the hotel, or at least my room, was in a dead zone. But I did appreciate the staff helping me out with some Panadol when I was dealing with food poisoning.

The property itself is old, rundown and in need of maintenance. The room however was clean and freshly painted. The shower taps are old and came off in my hand.
