This is my first time at this hotel. I was surprised at how friendly they are and that, though it's an inexpensive hotel, they provide breakfast (scrambled eggs and toast or rice cakes) included with the room. Unlike others in this price range, they also provide daily housekeeping.

They couldn't find my reservation but I had kept the record. It is close to a metro station, a McDonald, and a government building, so l wouldn't say it's unsafe. But streets are littered with garbage. The free breakfast was provided with scrambled egg (small portion) , coffee, fruit drink and toast, which is nice. The facilities are dilapidated.

Leider spricht niemand englisch. Das Passwort für das Wlan habe ich an der Reception nicht erhalten und so musste ich es von einem Gast erfragen. Auch meine Reservation ist verlohren gegangen. Das Frühstück ist OK und der Preis ist günstig.

Experiência ruim

Hotel horrível, não é o msm das fotos; quarto com lençol e fronha encardidos, banheiro sem tampa de vaso, porta do box quebrada e sem saboneteira e sem tampa no ralo. O ar condicionado faz um barulho assustador; funcionários mal humorados; fui mal recebida e mal assistida pela recepção; café da manhã: 3 fatias de pão, um pedaço de manteiga e ovo mexido, não tem outra opção. Além disso fica localizado numa área mto sinistra.Mto ruim. Não recomendo.
