There's only one power point in the bedroom, across the bed. I needed one beside the bed. The bedsheets felt "itchy". They don't feel comfortable. There are no lifts. One has to walk up through a funny smelling and dirty staircase.

The people downstairs in front of the hotel was very noisy and was revving cars at 2am in the morning and using the road as a race track no security to prevent this to happen. Will never see me again and wont suggest anyone to stay there.!!!
