Not worth a chance - even for free

The hotel is rough, the staff is not accessible at the best of time and rude when they show up. Ok departure, I was held hostage at the hotel while the manager took almost an hour to confirm with their hotel.com introducer that i paid in advance. Not worth the chance even for free.

Visitez les hôtels avant de faire leur promotion

Ce n'est pas un hôtel ça, c'est une porcherie très dégueulasse je très dégueulasse l'image sur internet est une bleuf. Je suis arrivé malheureusement la nuit et il pleuvait encore. Je suis resté débout et à 5h du matin j'ai quitté . C'est de l'arnaque , chambres puantes avec des draps de depuis 20 ans on ne sait pas , salle de bain dégueulasse à vomir. Ce n'est pas un hôtel ça même la porcherie est dix fois meilleure .

Hôtel à fuir et à ne plus présenter sur Hotels.com

Hôtel vétuste, eau sale coulant des robinets, eau chaude par intermittence, personnel de chambre voleur( j'ai subi 2 vols: un premier de 5000 frs CFA dès mon arrivée et un deuxième de 140 000 frs CFA dans ma valise). J'ai donc été obligée de garder ma clé sur moi lorsque je sortais. Résultat: chambre non faite pendant une semaine!!! Hôtel à ne plus présenter sur Hotels.com, car il risque de donner une mauvaise image à votre site.
