The door never locks and it got stuck so that all the guests in the room were locked out. Bad smell in the rooms with poor ventilation and no blackout

I really wanted to love this place, but unfortunately I couldn’t. The mattress was so hard it made my entire body sore and there was no hot water when I wanted to shower. The wifi was slow and sometimes not working at all. The check in process was difficult because there is no reception. I didn’t have a SIM card so I didn’t have internet to text the number on the door on WhatsApp to ask for check in, somebody helped me. The location was great but unfortunately apart from that I did not enjoy.
