Affordable price and good for short stays if you just need a place to sleep. The pool was under construction during our visit, but it wasn’t a problem since we only stayed overnight.

Guests near us (sounded like locals) had a party with heavy beat music and loud talking/laughter from 8pm through 2.30am. As there are no phones in the room to contact reception, there was no facility to complain other than confrontation hence no sleep till after 2.30am!
