This "hotel" is a scam. It is a room in an empty derelict building. The front entrance is wide open. There is no reception or security.
There was a poor looking guy sitting on a chair outside the building. By western standards, this place was worse than scary.
I booked this accommodation on Expedia and all nights needed to be paid up front (unusual). I arrived late at night. A guy in an old dirty car picked me up at the airport and he was the "hotel transfer". This was the first red flag. He was parked at least a 10 minute walk from the airport.
In the car, driver wanted to stop for gas . . . I was asked if I would like some food at the "hotel". They would arrange for something to be delivered. By now I was starting to get worried and asking if it was a real hotel. I did not get a straight answer.
When we arrived it was off the main area of traffic in a dark street. The door to the building was wide open. There was no one around. The building sounded empty and hollow. Then when we got to the floor still no one around. The driver opened the door of the room. It was dark with a dim bulb lit. I saw two beds but it was so dark I could barely make out what was in the room. I did not go in - I was afraid of being alone with driver and being raped. The pictures on this site are fake.
The elevator did not work to go down and I ran down the stairs. I could not get out fast enough. I did not get a refund. Frightening experience and I have traveled alot.
