It's an OLD hotel. My very first impression, beside its shabby looks of dark and low-ceiling room, was a strong smell of cheap artificial fragrance of cleaning chemistry trying to hide unaired and no-sunlight smell of the building.
Swimming pool was indoor, right next to the reception. Of course, no sunlight exposure. Yet tried to cheer it up with fancy neon lights of red and green and fake waterfall.
The room was not so bad except for the cheap smell. The old furnitures weren't really unexpected after the front impression. However, when I opened a door to a balcony with a hope to drain some too strong smell, I found that my room's balcony CONNECTED with a neighbor's. Yes, we SHARED a balcony. How private it was!
I'm not really a negative person, especially when it comes to hotel. Maybe it's just you get what you pay for as it's rather cheap and has not-so-bad location, I'd guess.
