I had a bad feeling from the moment we arrived and the receptionist took 20min to check us in; failing to give us any explanation for the delay and dismissing us when we asked.
I'm willing to compromise some things for cost. But hygiene isn't one of them.
Where to start... The room. Oh, the room. The carpet looked like a movie crime scene with plenty of DNA samples, including hair balls, accumulated over its long and sad existence. The upholstery (see chair photo) looked like if it was taken from a triage centre of world war 2, stained by fluids and gases that have decadently emanated from successive waves of rears.
In terms of cleansiness, If this wasn't enough, there was a chewing gum on the wall. Yes, a chewing gum on the wall, with teeth marks and all.
At this point I started looking for alternatives, but this hotel is a trap - you can check out any time you want - but you can never leave... To find an alternative you need proper wifi, and of course the wifi was no exception, it was ridiculously slow.
When I went to shower, water came out from a side of the shower head pipe, above the glass towards the toilet, where my partner was comfortably sitting. Upon receiving this refreshing spray of water she went berserk and almost forced me to check out. Luckily I managed to convince her...I had a bad feeling from the moment we arrived and the receptionist took 20min to check us in; failing to give us any explanation for the delay and dismissing us when we asked.

Luckily I managed to convince her to stay in, and after a botch job to get the shower running, we went to sleep (losing the feeling of cleansiness the moment I touched the bedsheets.)
It was all going alright until we were awaken by the melodic noise of construction works at midnight inside the hotel. Yes. At midnight.
In the morning we decided to directly check out and indignantly share our experience with the receptionist, only to be deflated when we found that it was the same guy who checked us in. We told him about the room and he pulled a consternation face. You know the one that Clint Eastwood has during the whole Dirty Harry movie. But didn't say a word. Really. He just looked at me, then looked at the horizon. We explained again in Arabic and again no verbal reaction. No sorry, nothing.
Avoid, people, location is ok but there is much better options for similar prices.More
