Nightmare hotel

This was the worst hotel we ever stayed in. The pictures on the website don’t show the reality. The room was really dirty, and it was falling apart. The mattress was full of stains, the room smelled like cigarette, in the night water was dripping from the ceiling in several places in the room, the bathroom seemed never have been cleaned, the shower head was broken, the drain in the shower was clogged, the toilet was really dirty. In addition, the walls seemed to be made out of paper, you could hear absolutely everything from the other rooms and the street so impossible to sleep without earplugs. The curtains where so small that all the light came to the room and everybody could see inside so impossible to sleep without a blindfold and no privacy at all. My Husband and I don’t recommend anybody to ever stay in this hotel. We have travelled a lot but never had such an awful experience.
