Worst place ever

Booked some where else where we felt safe. Spoke to a couple the next day who did stay. They came from UK and said the police what the night before was not comfortable. We booked a double bed room. Got a small single room. They rang me the day before we were due to arrive. And asked if I had spoken to them the day before and cancelled the room. I had not !!! Do not stay there. !!!!
