This hotel has serious structural problems that make it unsuitable for guests. Multiple reports of bar noise until 3AM, confirmed bedbugs, dirty bedding with blood stains, and theft from rooms create genuine safety and health risks. The extremely cramped rooms (some as small as 9 square meters) with concrete pillars and frequent AC failures compound these critical issues into an unacceptable experience.

The room was an inside room with a cement pillar with 3-foot diameter in the middle that I could not move around without doing gymnastics

The room measured at most 9 square meters! I understand that you need to maximize spaces to get more rooms out... and if a fire breaks out? People die like rats!

Asked for sheets to be changed on second day as everything seemed to be damp. Denied as they only change sheets every two days

Air conditioning wasn't working while I stayed there

Because they are very small it was important to have air conditioning which wasn't working while I stayed there

The air-conditioning unit had broken in our room and was only pushing out hot air. Our room temperature was stuck on 90degs which in turn kept us awake all night

The temperature of the room was unbearable. The air con wasn't working so meant we hardly slept

Room 005 was next to the bar and there was noise until 3am which I could hear very clearly

Room 005 was next to the bar and there was noise (very loud obnoxious guests and plates smashing together/being washed) until 3am which I could hear very clearly from the room. I couldn't get to sleep until 3:15am

The staff also decided to leave the bar door open right opposite my room so it was unbearably noisy. Despite phoning up 3 times (1 at 1:15am, another at 1:30am and a final call at 2:00am)
