Zainab

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
This was one of the worst stays I have ever experienced. The place was extremely unhygienic and clearly not cleaned properly. Basic necessities like toilet paper were not even provided, which is completely unacceptable. Even public toilets are far cleaner and better maintained than this. The bed was dusty, the room was dirty, and the overall environment felt unsafe and uncomfortable. I actually became unwell during my stay, which I believe was due to the poor hygiene and lack of cleanliness. This experience was very disappointing. I would strongly advise others to avoid this place, and I will definitely never stay here again.

Everything was really dirty including the bathrooms - the room smelled moldy and was pretty damp (my bag and clothes still carry the smell). Would not recommend, it has potential but it is not a good place to stay at.
