Sympa si c’est nettoyé
Pros:

La proximité avec les restaurants, les services proposés, les rangements

Cons:

La mauvaise isolation, la chambre n’était pas propre et la salle de bain n’avait pas dû être nettoyée car nous avons retrouvé des excréments dans les toilettes et sur les toilettes, dans le lavabo et sur la porte de la salle de bain !! Nous avons dû nettoyer par nos propres moyens car il n’y avait personne à la réception…
Si la chambre était propre nous aurions passé un meilleur séjour …

OK except for too many stairs.
Pros:

There was a breakfast? Nobody mentioned one.

Cons:

Lift was out. I was on 4th floor, I had luggage, I am 70 in average shape. Discovered on my way out the water I'd craved was on the 2bd floor. Two floors down and 2 floors back up wouldn't have been worth it, especially when you're tired late at night.

Depende de lo escrupuloso que seas
Pros:

La ubicación y la tranquilidad del sitio pese a estar en el centro. La habitación tenia buena iluminación natural y se veía el mar por la ventana.

Cons:

Fue como volver a los 70' pero después de 30 años de uso: moqueta, cuarto de baño,...estuvimos solo una noche porque al día siguiente teníamos contratado un tour a la isla de las tortugas y luego ya dormíamos en Kinabatangan. Si no eres escrupuloso, por ese precio la habitación no está mal.
