Pros:

Nothing much of the property is outdated.

Cons:

The carpet was dirty, and the bathroom outdated and unclean. You could see marks of uncleanliness on the carpets and in the bathroom. When the neighbours flash the lights or use the bathroom, the noise that comes through is unbearable.

It was okay. Nothing exceptional.
Pros:

The room was spacious and hygienic.

Cons:

There was no bottled water for drinking kept in the room. There was only one bottle which was in the bathroom, I drank half of the water and it was not even replaced the following day.
