One of the worst places I lived in till date.
Pros:

The location was good to nearby places within police bazaar. Church up the road too.

Cons:

The rooms were very dirty, cushions, walls, bed, pillows were in a very dirty state. The TV wasn't working as they hadn't subscribed to a network provider. The toilet seats were broken and when mentioned they said they would send someone but never did. Bathroom window was just a hole in the wall covered by a curtain. Towels were dirty so we asked reception for new ones. The alley way smelled of food at most times. Drinking water wasn't from sealed bottles. The images on the website are very misleading. One of the worst places I have stayed in.
