#### Verified traveller

Sep 7, 2019

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

#### Pas terrible 

Hôtel loin de ce qui est décrit sur le net. Propreté zéro, draps moustiquaire état des chambres très sales. A chaque fois on enlevait tout et on mettait nos serviettes pour dormir. En plus les propriétaires font la fête entre elles juste à côté de la chambre jusqu’a Heure tardive. Bref. Je ne le recommande pas.
