But the pool opened at 12pm and it was very uncomfortable swimming in the pools as the staff kept telling us to be quiet as people were having messages. Even though we were not even making any noise. We felt like we was not wanted. Some days they opened the pools at 1pm. Which wasted all our morning. ##### Hafza Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### VIELKA 26 Apr 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities never stay in this hotel a lot things happen there first you can sleep well a lot noise during the nighttime it doesn't feel like hotel just like motel is the worst hotel ever that I stay ##### VIELKA Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Amanj 24 Nov 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Very dirty not clean at all all inside interior is very very old and the power cut off.

The worst hotel I've ever been too. The pics are misleading. The manager himself is extremely rude. When we checked in, the hotel room was burning hot. When we turned on the A/C and fan, the noise was so loud, we couldn't hear anything else. On top of that, the air coming out was hot too. When We asked, we were told that it's central system and the heating is on at the moment not the A/C. It was hot outside and they still had the heaters on. My entire family didn't sleep all night. We came downstairs at 3AM to complain again, and we were told that we'll need to talk to the manager. In the meantime, they gave us a pedestal fan, which itself was was loud. In the morning, when we spoke to the manager to complain, he in turn started yelling at us! Basically told us to suck it up or get out. If management is like that, what could the rest of the staff do? This hotel included breakfast, and it was horrible too. Food looked like it was days old. To top it all off, I saw twice, they were allowing guests to bring in prostitutes. PROSTITUTES! What kind of hotel is this????? Never again! Stay away if you can. The pictures are staged, the rooms are not as they're shown. Only fools would stay here. If I can give 0 stars or 0 rating to any hotel, this would be it! ##### Riaz Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pat 25 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Au top ##### Pat Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Mariam 4 Dec 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### För dåligt Jätte otrevliga personal , nästan ingen talar engelska så bra heller!!
