Reviews
We stayed here for 4 nights, and the room was very small. We didn’t even bother having breakfast at the hotel because it was a disaster.
The staff didn’t speak English, which made communication difficult.
I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.
The space for luggage looks like a cargo warehouse full of cartons full of clothes and goods.
If you decide to stay in Emin hotel, keep in mind and dont leave valuables in your luggage, because you may not find them.
