Выспаться или хотя бы отдохнуть не получится: очень шумный район. Отель старый. Если только туристы совсем без притензий
Pros:

Номер был чистый. Кондиционер работал.

Cons:

Отсутствие шумоизоляции, номера очень уставшие. Неудобно расположенная мебель. И ужасный запах повсюду: чистящие средства плюс освежители.

Worst experience ever
Pros:

Only thing I like about this hotel is one friendly receptionist. Location not bad, but I am not fan of crowed and noise

Cons:

They didn't respond to my to my email or the message after 48 h and ended up cancelling my reservation. I booked the room myself at the arrivals.
I had to use my phone light to find my way in the upper floor, it dark and no light on. The room was so dark and gloomy. I could see clearly at night. There was a missing light bulb too. Only day time was enough light.
They don't have real sun block curtains. Room during the day was so lit. I had to use my sleeping mask to avoid the light. Elevator is tiny and super slow but it's working.
Everything is super old. Tight bathroom, shower head fell off. Fridge failed to work. Door hit the toilet and I had to squeeze around.
They don't serve breakfast at the facility but in a hotel nearby. Breakfast was basic and very few choices.

Not again
Pros:

Just the location

Cons:

Check-in was at 2pm I was there 2 hours earlier the Persian woman said you had to wait for 2pm end up going out for a bite to eat then came back waited like everyone else, didn’t get a room until 3pm service wasn’t good at all just stayed for a day so was literally to get a nap in for my next flight but the windows didn’t help not got proper curtains to keep the sun out bright in the room AC didn’t work either so left the windows fully open but wouldn’t advise at night if you want to sleep as was like party central till early hours.
