This hotel is centrally located right next to the market place, which is a major plus. However, my experience was a bit mixed; the room had a strong cigarette smell, and the fan was ineffective against mosquitoes. On the bright side, the bedsheets were clean, and I had really hot water and working internet. It felt like stepping back into the 70s or 80s, which was an interesting experience in itself.

The hotel's central location next to the marketplace is definitely a plus, but there were several downsides that made my stay less than ideal. While the rooms had a unique charm reminiscent of past decades, the cigarette smoke smell was quite off-putting, and the slow fan didn't do much to keep the mosquitoes away. On the bright side, I appreciated the clean bedsheets and reliable hot water. Overall, I’m torn between giving it a 2 or 3-star rating.

The hotel has a central location right next to the market place, which is convenient. However, the stay was marred by issues like a smoking smell in the room and a slow fan that didn't help with mosquitoes. On the brighter side, I appreciated the clean bedsheets and really hot water in the shower. Overall, it was a unique experience that felt like stepping back in time, but not without its drawbacks.

The hotel is centrally located right next to the market, which is quite convenient. However, my experience was mixed—while I appreciated the clean bedsheets and hot water, the room had a strong smell of cigarette smoke, and the fan was practically useless against mosquitoes. Overall, it's an interesting throwback to the 70s-80s, but not without its issues.

This hotel boasts a central location right next to the marketplace, which is a huge plus. However, my stay was less than ideal due to some issues. The reception staff had minimal English skills, and my room reeked of cigarette smoke. The fan was ineffective against mosquitoes, though I did appreciate the clean bedsheets and hot water. It's like stepping back in time to the 70s or 80s—definitely a unique experience, but not necessarily in a good way.
