Total disaster. Did stay the 2nd day coz i know I’ll never get refunded if i left on the 2nd day. Use to be a decent hot
Pros:

Location. Nothing other than that

Cons:

Should’ve change the name to LIPAS HOTEL. Lipas was everywhere. In the toilet, head of the bed, on the floor, out in the corridor, even in the fridge got lipas. Bathroom was dirty, broken tiles, floor that looks like it never been washed. Dirty and rusted fridge, not to mention again LIPAS!!! And the drinking eater that was provided was already opened. Not a sealed one. Room was dusty and got spiderweb also. Seems like the worker have given up totally on the establishment than to take care of it properly.

A very disappointing stay that was nothing like advertised and completely ruined my trip
Pros:

unfortunately nothing

Cons:

There was nothing I liked about the hotel. It was dirty and not like the photos I saw on the website at all. There were many small insects, and the carpet, sheets, and even the curtains were dirty and torn.
And the LOCATION was the worst. For two nights, I couldn’t sleep at all because of the motorcycles—you hear them every two seconds. It’s unbelievable; it feels like they’re in your room, not on the street. it completely ruined my trip
