The hotel was very noisy and I could barely sleep. The carpet was very old with stains on it. The bathroom shower curtain was equally old and stained.
There were no charging wall sockets by the bed.
If you are looking for a short, quick overnight stay, you may be able to endure the very poor service but for the price of a room, one is better off paying a little more to get better value.

Hotel was very clean, well located and staff were communicative and helpful. The hotel is a little dated and there were minimal amenities in the room itself, but everything worked and functioned as expected. Only real complaint was the very small bed, but we slept well enough.

The picture on trip.com site is far different from the present state. Initially, we thought we've missed our way. Facility so old with minimal maintenance. Bird poo on the window, heater not working. Just a staff at a point so could not leave the reception to come check the radiator. Eventually someone came after an hour and we're given a mobile heater since the one in the room was not working.
