Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

cheap, but at what cost

The rooms have moisture problems, paint falling from the walls, very strong sewer smell in the bathroom and the noise on the street is coming all trough in the rooms. The reception tried to help but couldn't do much because all the rooms are compareble.
