Cons:

The accommodation photos that is advertised on booking.com is very misleading. The facilities is not what you see on the app. The room/bathroom and dirty and maintenance is not up to standard in rooms.
The are and entrance is very dodgy.
This accommodation is definitely not worth the price...Very dissapointment and unsatisfied.
