Very disapointed. Not what it should be according the pictures!!
Pros:

Air conditioner was working, location

Cons:

The room did not correspond to the images presented!!! It was in a very outdated and worn condition, and extremely small. The bathroom was in poor hygienic condition, with visible mold. Even the door handle appeared unclean and unpleasant to use. This specifically concerned room 107.

The door was not properly sealed, resulting in considerable noise disturbance from outside, and light from the hallway was clearly visible inside the room. The bed linens did not appear consistently fresh and were not regularly changed.

The walls throughout the room and bathroom were not freshly painted, and the bathroom ceiling was in a particularly poor state—damaged, stained, and affected by mold.

The lighting situation was also inadequate. There was no proper ceiling light; instead, only two small bedside fixtures were installed. Additionally, there was no functional light switch, requiring the bulbs to be manually unscrewed in order to turn off the lights.

The breakfast offering was also of very low quality and did not meet reasonable expectations.

Awful!!!
Cons:

the object did not match the description/photos and there were problems with the number- the photo did not match.


We checked into the room and found a significant discrepancy with the photos shown in the ad.

In the photos, the room looks much more spacious than in reality. In fact, the room is extremely narrow, the space is very limited, there is no place to place luggage — even one suitcase cannot be opened properly without blocking the passage.

The room layout also differs from the one presented: the arrangement of furniture and bathrooms creates a feeling of a much smaller space than shown in the photo and a general discrepancy in style.

We believe that the photos are misleading (using distorting camera angles/processing), as they create a false impression of the size and convenience of the room.
In such conditions, it is impossible to stay for 7 days.

Please consider the possibility of a full or partial refund.

Cons:

Unfortunately, my experience at this hotel was very disappointing. The room was extremely small and did not provide any comfort. There was barely enough space to move around properly.
The cleanliness was below standard, and the hotel in general did not seem well maintained. It felt neglected and not properly cleaned.
The staff were unprofessional and lacked basic courtesy. Their attitude was unfriendly and unhelpful, which made the stay even worse.
The breakfast was very poor in terms of quality and variety and definitely not worth the price.
I would not recommend staying at this hotel at all. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience.

Pros:

La posizione dell'hotel è ottima, vicino alla moschea blu ed alle maggiori attrazioni turistiche. Il direttore dell'hotel è gentilissimo ed efficiente per il taxi e servizi turistici. Rivolgevi a lui per prenotare taxi per raggiungere aeroporto

El peor hotel en el que me he quedado :(
Pros:

La ubicación. Lo único.
Y nos cambiaron las toallas cada día, pero no considero eso ecológico. No es necesario y no ayuda al medioambiente..

Cons:

El hotel en si es viejísimo. Las habitaciones son DIMINUTAS. No pueden estar dos personas en una habitación, no entran ni las personas ni el equipaje.
Son antiguas, tienen defectos de mantenimiento, cables sueltos, humedades.
Pero el mayor problema es que LAS PAREDES SON DE PAPEL. Escuchas al vecino como si estuviera contigo en tu habitación gritando, a los que pasan por la escalera a toda hora, es terrible.
Imposible descansar, imposible moverse por la habitación.
Qué decir del desayuno. Para eso mejor que no ofrezcan. Al tercer día ya ni bajé a desayunar, porque solo hay PAN DURO y depende el día alguna salsa y verdura sin sabor.
La verdad es que por el precio que hemos pagado, me deberían devolver el dinero.
