I wanted to stay here because I was looking for alternatives to the Kempinski, which is a great hotel but rather pricey. I really would like to say something nice about this place, but can only say that I am glad the room had air conditioning.
The hotel is desparately outdated. The pool water was green. The pool bar was non-existant. The photos of the hotel are deceptive because this place is run-down.
The room was not clean. The floor was filthy, the bed was old. The sheets appeared to be clean, but too small for the bed.
The shower...well, its a tap with very little water coming out of it. Really disappointing after a long flight. The toilet was gross, but the rest of the bathroom was at least clean.
My room was on the 3rd floor, and no elevator. The breakfast was a real disappointment. It was some bread and jam. My colleage asked for something else and we were able to get Corn Flakes. But, so many flys landed on/in my cereal bowl that I stopped eating.
I don't know why they think they can charge 97USD/night for this place. But, there really isn't anything else except for the more expensive Kempinski, which is such a nice place. If you can afford not to stay here, I would recommend the Kempinski and not this crap-hole.
