No reason to stay here
Small, grimy room. Dirty, stained mattress with a threadbare sheet that kept falling off. No hot water. Wifi only near office. Common kitchen that was monopolized by and not cleaned by other guests. Lots of mold in the bathroom and shower.. No reason to stay here.

The price was right. It's quite and got good rest. The community kitchen has everything you need. Bathroom could be cleaner. But it's not the Hilton. Very convenient area you can find much of what you need.

Pillows were moldy, pillow cases dirty. The towels were thread- bareThe website photos were beautiful BUT nothing like whatTropicana was in real life. The shower & toilet were unhygienic. We were a group of 8 people & we all refused to lay on the beds; neither did we stay the night - we were concerned for our health.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
The price reflects that this is a very basic property. In the communal kitchen, the toaster didn’t work and the grill was very hard to operate. The large fridge wasn’t clean. The mattress was uncomfortable because the springs could be clearly felt. The shower with hot water was good. Lovely, friendly staff.

Décevant
(1) Les lieux sont malpropres, surtout les cuisines. Il n'y a pas de bac pour les déchets organiques. Ils pourrissent dans les poubelles et attirent les coquerelles. De plus, ce n'est pas écologique. (2) Le signal wi-fi n'atteignait pas ma chambre. J'ai dû m'asseoir devant la réception afin d'utiliser l'internet. (3) Mon chauffe-eau était brisé et n'a pas pu être réparé. (4) Contrairement à la description, la réception était fermée le samedi et dimanche. (5) Il y a des gens qui fument sur le terrain. (6) J'ai envoyé des messages à l'établissement par Facebook Messenger comme indiqué sur la fenêtre de la réception mais je n'ai pas reçu de réponse.

Highly affordable place and employees try to maintain general cleanliness alright. A fellow guest in another room was unlucky enough to get bed bugs. She was allergic to the bites and had to go to the clinic. Mosquitos were causing a few bites every day, and I figured they probably got into my room during the room service hours when staff opened doors to dry the mobbed floor. Being in a tropical climate, maybe the management should consider regular pest control measures.
