This was a hideous experience from start to finish. On arrival you are welcomed by a large and steep staircase, the first of several to your room and no way to get your luggage up the stairs - so, if you are disabled in any way, or are travelling with a large suitcase - forget it! Don't ask for assistance with this - you'll be treated with contempt.
This hotel claims to have coffee and tea services in the lobby. You can ask for them to 'wheel it out' but it will take them longer than an hour (it is obviously very inconvenient) and the receptionist will keep you waiting in the loby for that long, while she talks on the phone playing with her hair - clearly, she has better things to do than her actual job!
Secondly, don't both tipping the cleaners. They will take the money and not bother cleaning the room properly anyway.
There is no TV reception in the rooms, but of course they welcome you to turn on the TV if only to be mesmerised by the hideous buzzing sound. Don't try and hear a weather report or the news or watch a movie on a wintery night - it simply isn't possible.
Asking a simple question at the reception desk is almost always a problem - conidering they are being paid and are certainly not run off thier feet, I don't know why they have such an attitude about everything.
Be careful to lock your windows each night. As you have to have the heater and the overhead fan on at the same time to regulate the temperature, the cleaners open the window during the day - a major security issue as there are scaffolds leading from the street to the room windows allowing passers by to conveniently pop into your room if tey so desire (due to the "rennovations").
Other than that, enjoy your not-so-friendly stay at this hovel.
