Most Things Didn’t Work in Hotel —But Staff Nice!

The staff were nice that’s about the only good thing to say of this hotel. The electricity keep shutting off the whole time I was there and they couldn’t keep the generator running. The WiFi was also very bad. Room AC old and barely worked. Nor did ceiling fan work. No regular TV but they did have smart TV to watch YOUTUBE or NETFLIX. Buffet breakfast a 4 out of 10. Location is a bit far from town but UBER works there. $20 per night so I guess I got what I paid for!

The only good thing: not far from bus station

I had booked a double room for 2 people, and they disagreed with my booking and we were installed at an individual room. We claimed back and after insisting they provided us with extra towel and water, but didn't change us the room. We were leaving early in the morning and even though we asked for just some bread, they told us that breakfast was not due until 7am, so we had to leave with nothing
