An abominable hovel that obviously hasn't been cleaned since before the white men came. The grime-stained walls encrusted with unknowable substances made me think I was living in a flaccid Lovecraft novel. I'm fairly sure some peasant took a flop by the bed in my room, but the effort made to clean it was so half-hearted they might as well... More

Booked two rooms. They looked good with very crisp nice white sheets stretched over the beds. It is a hostel, but the shared bathrooms were very tired with non working lights in both on one floor. Also loo seat falling off in one of the bathrooms. Kitchen well used by others and OK. Shared lounge was a room with a... More

We stayed Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights, and it is very hard to sleep. The windows have gaps and every tiny sound from the street below seems amplified. The noise from the bars late at night and the jackhammer streetworks at 7am was painful. We even strung up the bed covers as an extra sound barrier but that didn't work.... More

For the structure, basicly you... More
