Most recent guests report serious gaps between listing photos and actual room condition: beds uncomfortable, air conditioning broken or smelly, cleanliness inconsistent. Staff responsiveness varies widely; some encounters were dismissive or confusing (wrong check-in locations, unanswered calls). A handful of budget-conscious visitors found value in proximity to shops and cafes. Skin reactions and safety concerns (broken locks) appear in multiple accounts. Management shows little sign of addressing these complaints systematically.
