Great overnight stay
Our flight arrived early so we were delighted that they were able to give us access to the room at 10:30am. Of course this isn't a given for every booking.
The room was massive and included a fridge and jug (but no cups or any coffee/tea??).
The hotel is surrounded by supermarkets, shops, restaurants etc so was very convenient for a one night stay.
Only negative was there was a leak from under the shower screen so the bathroom floor was wet and slippery.

Staff are nice and quick to bring you what you need.
Everything else is horrible.
I stayed 3 nights and each night it became a ritual to kill 2-5 cockroaches daily.
Even tho my budget was tight, I would have stayed elsewhere.

The guest room I was given has an old bed and even older spring mattress. The room was spacious but hard to sleep in. The service from the people was great. Hotel Just needs a renovation and upgrade.
The second room I was transferred to was so much better.

The bed is very disappointing.
Location is good. Very old Hotel. Rooms are very big. But the beds are too small. Single bed is probable 90cm & double bed is 120cm. The bed is disappointing.

If u want to save money (Not worth it)
This hotel should be rated as 1☆. This is NOT a FAMILY hotel. The interior is so outdated and old school. The room had broken drawer. Bathroom Bidet spray was dripping rarher leaking. Toilet would not flush. The room had a false ODOR. You step out the hotel and your surrounded by women who provide sensual services. Hotel itself had mutiple south asian style Bar, where u watch girls dancing (Wont even call it a dance). Over all the location and price was ok but never again. YOU have been warned too.
