It’s an affordable option if you are on a budget
Pros:

Price was reasonable for the facilities

Our twin room was very small with little room to manoeuvre around the beds. Area is very congested as it’s near a market.

Ok
Pros:

La proximité du port (10min en voiture) et de l'aéroport (30min en voiture).
Le petit déjeuner est copieux

Cons:

L'hôtesse d'accueil n'était souriante. L'hôtel est simplement un lieu où dormir, ne vous attendez pas à du luxe, vous montez vos bagages vous même dans la chambre. Les rues autour ne sont pas très jolies, il ya quelques restaux pas loin, mais rien d'autre à faire sinon.

Vreselijk!
Pros:

Absoluut niks!

Cons:

Vieze Bedden (hoofdbord met resten van kaugom), vieze lakens, vieze handdoeken, beschimmelde douche, beschimmelde douchekoppen, koud water in douche of te heet, vieze en oude bedden, vieze en oude bureau en stoel, vieze gordijnen. Ramen die niet dicht kunnen, ongedierte zoals insecten en salamander onduidelijke communicatie.

Kortom vreselijk! Ik had ontbijt maar heb hier geen gebruik van gemaakt. Ik had geboekt waar op stond later uitchecken. Uiteindelijk moest ik hier een halve dag voor betalen. Hij koers klopt niet met de dagelijkse wisselkoers.

24 uur was veel te veel daar.
