Reviews
⛔️We had a very bad experience in this hotel. The hygiene is poor, the staff is unfriendly, the breakfast is miserable. I absolutely do not recommend staying in this hotel ,it was horrible ⛔️
Another issue was that people were frequently smoking near the lobby's front entrance. So, if you have sensitivities to smoke or simply prefer a smoke-free environment, this could be a concern.
I hope they fix their issues so as to avoid disappointing other tourists.
Staff never have any courtesy towards tourists.
