Thanks to Junaid and online receptionist.
Pros:

The location was great, the online reception was super nice and helpful and the best part of it was Junaid’s helps. He was very helpful and friendly.

Cons:

The building needs renovation so even if they clean it 24/7 it still looks nasty. But it was okay due to the value

Cons:

It’s a self-check-in hotel, and I felt comfortable staying here because the process was easy and convenient.

There was a bad smell outside the room on the first day, but after I informed, they immediately took care of it and solved the problem.

Additionally, Junaid was very helpful and attentive. He always took good care of us whenever he saw us.

Aire acondicionado
Pros:

Estaba cerca al centro y tenía aire acondicionado.

Cons:

No tiene nada que ver las imágenes con la realidad…
Las sábanas no estaban muy limpias, no hay personal, te comunicas con ellos por WhatsApp, el baño es compartido hombres/mujeres a veces no había papel y el vater quedaba mojado cuando la gente se duchaba.
Otra cosa, al lado hay un restaurante y entra el olor a comida…
Reservamos este hostal porque nos sacaba de un apuro, teníamos el bus nocturno.
