" Dated would be kind. A better word is dilapidated or very run down. Next to a busy noisy market. Stained bedding seemed to be unwashed. No hot water. Uncomfortable bed. Awoke with many bedbug bites. At least the air con worked."

"It was alright for the price. The staff were very friendly and tried to make my stay enjoyable. My only complaint was that the mosquito net had a large hole in it. Other repairs may be expensive, but a new net doesn't cost that much. "
