The bathroom is extremely small and there is no hot water (by design). The rooms have an open cinder block along the ceiling that easily lets in bugs and noise. Also, the hotel is next to a night club that blast music through the once quiet neighborhood until 2am. People tend to meet at the hotel courtyard after the club closes.

The staff were friendly and helpful. The WIFI worked without interruptions. The shower gave cold water only and you could not sit straight on the toilet. The bathroom was too small.

La cuisine commune était très sale. Les gens étaient super gentils et accueillants, chaque fois que nous avions une questions, ils étaient toujours là pour nous aider. Je recommande l’endroit, mais seulement si vous ne compter pas cuisiner lol!
