This hotel was untuil recently a hostel -and basically, still looks and feels like one. There is a pungent sickly-sweet smell to greet you as you walk in 9you can't help feeling it's masking something worse!) and this permeates throughout the whole building. Decor is tasteless, outdated browns and oranges and there was a woman asking for a refund when we arrived, as both rooms she'd been booked into were crawling with "roaches". The bed was comfortable and there was plenty of hot water, but the towels were full of other people's hairs. My advice -stay somewhere in the Downtown direction.

Hot water, comfortable bed, friendly doorman
