This hotel used to be a 5 star that has lost a lot in it's ratings. This should be known as a 3 star hotel.

local environment is very chaotic

Hotel could not provide a receipt for my stay as the 'systems where down'. So no invoice for expense claim. The internet was very poor and the bathroom not very clean.
