Property is dilapidated and needs serious maintenance and revamping. Seemed as though there were long term residents occupying rooms and communal spaces. Rooms were much too expensive for the state they were in.

This place was the pits, not like in the ad that shows all good and clean. The electric hot plate was all rusted and unusable. There was bugs crawling in the draws under tv. Blankets were all bleach stained. The facility offered mineral spring baths. The one i saw did not have one tile left, either on the walls nor the floor. They expected people to walk on jaggered concrete. No laundry facility also. No air conditioner not that we needed it. You need to send out inspectors because this place will give you a bad name. Not a good way to do business.

DO NOT STAY HERE! Upon arrival at the property we were approached by a local who was there to buy drugs from another tenant. The property did not feel like a safe place for my family. Room was disgusting. Sticky carpet and floor surfaces. Black mould and green mould was visible in multiple parts of the room. Found cigarette burns on the bed linen. Mirrors were cracked and chipped, paint peeling everywhere, dining chairs in room where covered in dust, crockery/cutlery was not cleaned from previous guests. TV did not work. Photos online must be 10 years old. Maintenance is badly needed everywhere. When we confronted the staff about the state of our room they denied all of our observations. Staff did offer to clean the room, but we respectfully declined and asked for a refund. The manager refused to refund any of our money despite only staying 1 of 3 nights booked. Very bad experience.
