This hotel was quite disappointing. While the rooms were spacious, everything else was lacking. We didn’t feel safe due to the questionable crowd that frequented the shared spaces. Additionally, the facilities, including toilets and showers, were filthy, and the service was extremely poor. Overall, I can't recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable stay.

I had a challenging experience at this hotel. While the staff did their best to be helpful, the overall condition of the place was very disappointing. The location seemed lively, but I felt uneasy during my stay due to cleanliness issues and the crowd. I would not recommend staying here because of my discomfort.

The hotel is quite affordable, and while it does provide basic accommodations, there were significant issues with cleanliness and safety. The staff made an effort to be helpful, especially in trying circumstances, and the location offered a chance to meet interesting people. However, noise disturbances and unsatisfactory room conditions really detracted from the experience.

The room I stayed in had an awful smell that overwhelmed any attempts to mask it. The curtains didn't close properly, leaving me feeling exposed and unsafe due to a gap in the door.

The location had its perks as it was buzzing with activity, especially during the festival, but it felt more like a halfway house with many long-term residents.

Unfortunately, my experience at this hotel was quite disappointing. The rooms were cramped and poorly designed, making my stay uncomfortable. I also felt unsafe due to the surrounding environment and the lack of cleanliness in the shared areas. The location was a letdown as well, with misleading information about its distance from the city center. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend staying here given the poor conditions.
