The whole hotel doesn’t look like the photos. There are cockroaches and dirty. There is a whole night club downstairs and you will not be able to sleep with how loud it is in this hotels. Loud people loud cars everywhere. The bathroom smelled of sewage. Your in a prison where you have to ask them to open the door to leave and come back in. Horrible experience don’t waste your money.

Ils n'avaient pas notre reseversation a notre arrivée. Il y a une sonnette qui sonne jusqu'a minuit et a partir 7h du matin lorsque les gens veulent entrer dans l'Hotel. La chambre sent la boule a mites. Chambres propres et on peut se rendre au musée National et au Marché d'artisanat à pied
