Madeen City Hotel

The sign in this hotel's  "reception area" (the size of a large shower cabinet complete with 2 chairs comprising the whole of the public areas) boasts that it is "exceptional". Here's why: 1. I hand towel for 2 people. 2. A kettle with two china mugs but no tea, coffee, milk, sugar or teaspoons. 3. A fridge that can double as extra clothing/shoe storage as it doesn't work. 4. No toiletries other than cotton buds. No toothmugs. 5. Occasional hot water. 6. Occasionally functioning door key. 7. Air conditioning hidden invisibly within the ceiling space by the room door serving to deliver coolish air to the door area alone. 8. A skimpy breakfast offering no choice at all, no cereal, fruit, milk, fruit juice, half a tomato each and instant coffee served with a central dollop of unmixed coffee-mate. It's brought to the table - take it or leave it. 9. No internal signage whatsoever in the dark interior. 10. The hotel is situated in a grubby backstreet which serves as a rat-run for motorbike deliveries until 3am and a deafening nightly rubbish collection at 3.30am. 11. The reception desk is largely unmanned, the owners preferring to spend the day and most of the night sitting outside talking and laughing loudly. This hotel is a nasty enterprise run by the owners entirely for themselves, their unwitting guests being an obvious irritant.
