What can I say...the location is very bad (altough taxi are so cheap there compare to... more

Stayed here for a few nights at the end of October and it was a pleasant surprise to find it had been refurbished to a good standard. I had a twin room, quite small, but sufficient. In the bathroom you have a small bath with shower over, and a selection of free toiletries like shampoo, cotton buds, and also slippers.... more

I also cringed when I read the reviews after being advised by our Tour organizers that we would be staying 4 nights at this hotel, however, I suggest that many things have changed since those reviews.

The entrance hall is imposing and when we arrived after a long journey we expected the opulence to be reflected in the bedrooms - not so!! Damp, mouldy walls. Twin beds crammed in so tightly that you had to negotiate... more
