Well, I really didnt want to believe the reviews - but they are true. First the good stuff - the place looks nice from the outside, its well located if you are after party life (not sure why people stay there if they want quiet). BTW, its inside the yard, so you can't really hear the street. Also, there are sellers of many kinds everywhere in asia, so of course they will be outside the hotel. Dont know why people complain about that. The bad part - room looked really run down. I didnt mind it that much for the price, but then I went to sleep and smelled the cussions - oh my god, so bad. Also, for some reason the water in shower smelled like rotten eggs. Internet was frequently unavailable. IF you can, just get different place
