ok if u r backpacking and looking for a really cheap place to saty- otherwise forget it!! rooms and bathroom dirty and smelly- near city centre and major attractions but i would rather pay little more and stay in a decent place more

Excellent accommodation for the budget conscious traveler. I stayed at the Hotel Ali for 5 nights. It is not 5 star but you are not paying 5 star prices so anyone who complains you are in the wrong hotel!
