Out of the 100s of hotels I've stayed at, this is the worst and a giant scam. In the photos for the room we booked, it had hardwood floors and a clean bedroom/bathroom. Instead, we got a room with old, dirty carpet and the bathroom's disgusting. I'll break it down into 3 categories for ease: Cleaniness, Comfort, Safety.
Cleanliness:
There are stains everywhere in the toilet, like on the sink. And the shower, instead of a glass barrier, is a 3-sided curtain. The shower is very cramped, so as soon as you turn the shower on, the curtain collapses on you and you get hugged by mildew and bacteria. There's also a bunch of mildew/mold on the shower curtains, as is common, but the problem here is that it is cramped so you will keep rubbing it against yourself while showering.
Once you survive the shower and step out of it, you'll realize the floor is all wet, because the shower curtain does a poor job of blocking the water, so water will get everywhere on the floor and every time you use the restroom (until the next cleaning), you'll be stepping on either puddles of water or wet towels.
Comfort:
After you shower, you notice the room is very hot despite outside being quite cold. So, you open the window to let cool air in because there's no AC. There's a problem though which is that it's *extremely* noisy.
Drunks will yell/sing deep into the night. And last night, they kept singing loudly until 2AM. The courtyard carries noise very well so the drunken, off-tune singing gets channeled extremely loudly, directly into the room.
So you close your window and say to yourself, "OK I'll just be hot and try to sleep, at least it's better than hearing very loud drunk noises the whole night."
Well, too bad. The windows are single-paned so you still hear people outside very clearly.
Miraculously, the people outside stopped singing and you can finally go to sleep, right?
Haha, wrong again! The walls are paper thin so you can clearly hear pipes running, which neighbor is showering, what TV shows they're watching, and anyone walking around upstairs.
This place is hell and being deprived of sleep is a form of torture.
Safety:
Inside the hotel is fine. But outside can be quite sketch at night, as is the case near any train station.
As the faucets in the bathroom is quite leaky, floors can get slippery if you do not turn off the shower and sink faucets with a vice grip. Could be a hazard there.
In Summary:
This place has free breakfast!
But you'll be fighting tooth and nail with other guests for juice and scrambled eggs, which disappear in seconds when they come out.
We booked this place shoulder season, and we didn't even book the cheapest room.
