Worst hotel of the whole trip and all my life

Hotel located in the center and close to the metro. BUT ... The room is very small, the bedding is dirty, the electrical wires of the air conditioning system hangs across the room, it was necessary to bend to pass underneath. Violent headache and vertigo at 2am for an unexplainable reason. This hotel seems to be a den of drug addicts. The deafening muezzin at 4am is not the worst, it does not last long and we go back to sleep quickly. Do not go!!!!
