Broken window. The windows appeared to be sealed with tissue. It seems someone tying to stop the noise from outside by blocking it. I tried to lock tight the windows to stop the noise but it seems failed.

Liked: Having someone at reception to answer after 5pm. This is important when you're travelling and need a place to sleep and it wasn't planned. This would make me return to the hotel again. I didn't like it: Smell and cigarette smoke all the time. The appearance of the bathroom. Old fridge, rubber door seal coming off all the time.
