Poor standard and rude staff

From arrival it was bad through to check out. Our room was dirty and obviously not cleaned, the decor was poor and shabby, you could clearly see stains on wood floor, stains around toilet etc. We arrived at the hotel to a large group of protesters based on sacking some staff 5 years ago and they are actually camped outside the door. We spoke to the reception staff regarding our room and they were just rude to us, they did however offer us another room for the 4 nights for an extra 600 euros. It took 2.5 days before our room was cleaned despited repeatedly complaining. The cleaning staff have priorities over the lift and you can be some time fir its free. I left a 5 euro note in the room as it was no use in Korea, when we arrived back in the evening it had gone and someone had also gone through our possessions. The 5 euros was given back to me the following day by the cleaner. I certainly would not stay thrre again nor would i recommend it.

The hotel is in an excellent location (near a subway station, the bus stop for the airport bus, a night market and numerous restaurants) but has been involved in a labor dispute for an extended period - there were often protesters at the entrance, sometimes playing loud music. Related to this, the hotel is a bit understaffed and it is beginning to show in the maintenance of the rooms.
