Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The DJ wasn't a problem as he stopped fairly early. The hotel is incredibly dated - fair play to whoever photoshopped the room pics. The hotel smells strongly of the Indian food from downstairs. The staff are not particularly helpful. The room (suite) had not been decorated since the late 1970s and was filthy with hairs all over the place and a filthy mattress. Would not recommend.

Overall a good stay for the price. Staff were friendly however announced our room number out loud upon check in - which is unsafe for two women travelling. Room was nice and spacious, shower was good as well. Our room however had some industrial-sounding drilling/humming noise on and off all night. Unsure if this was the building next door or the hotel itself. If you want a short trip on a budget I would recommend. However if you’re travelling solo might be unsafe as they like announcing your room number out loud.
