Property is very old and poorly maintained. Requires thorough refurbishment before advertising it for international guests. This is a perfect case of What You See Is Not What You Get (WYSINWYG). Terrible and Pathetic!

The worst hotel in the centre of the city
The hotel is the worst of more than 150 hotels l have ever been. It's seriously fithy. The toilt the bedding you can't recognise the colur of the mosquito net. The toile is like the 1950s toile and never been renovated since the hotel has been opened. The cooks and the people saving in the kitche were filthy. To say the list the hotel should be closed down. It is appalling.
All these are the list of what l could take picture

Unsafe wall plugs  
See all pictures on the left side and all below pictures as proof of what l experienced and paid for it.
Fithy toilet and walls
The most fithy floor the room and the bathroom
