Do not go there!
Looks nothing like the photos. The room is in a dilapidated condition. The filthy, stained toilet and the sink even brushing my teeth made me feel sick. Everything looked overused. It needs to be revamped. I had booked for 2 2-night stay but only stayed for one. I had to leave and didn't even ask for a refund as I wanted to leave. I would never go back there again.
