Pros:

Location

Cons:

The room absolutely stunk of smelly feet/shoes.
Had to open window straight away and keep door open (actually door couldn't shut easily either). Room felt a bit grimey, glasses and cups were stained and dirty. Just poor housekeeping...

Convenient
Pros:

It was an okay stay, it was a convenient stay .

Cons:

Well the room was poorly maintained. Toilet didn’t flush very well the pillowcases and towels were in VERY poor condition! The bed was uncomfortable and squeaked. The bedside tables were falling apart .There was an ironing left board under the bed with no cover on it and no iron provided. There was no refrigerator in the room. There was an air-conditioner in the room but no remote. The amenities were very basic. It wouldn’t be somewhere I would stay again.

dirty
Pros:

good price

Cons:

It was the worst hotel experience I've ever had while traveling! Everything was very dirty, and the person who attended to us was extremely rude! I had read negative reviews about the hotel, but I thought it wouldn't be this bad. How wrong I was! Avoid this place, the streets were cleaner than the room, I don't know ir they don't know what is a clean place or if they know and don't care, I can't say what option is worst, but the dirty was so clear that I can't assume they didn't notice it when gave us the room
