Negative Reviews
negative:
The Elevators Are Unsound
Be cautious with the elevators. It seems that that they skip floors, especially if someone else pushes the button for another floor. They make strange noises at times as well.
negative:
Take Notice of Taxi Fares
The taxi drivers have a habit of switching fares whenever they feel like it. Therefore, when catching a taxi, be firm about the price for your destination. You may be better off with Uber.
negative:
Visitor Restrictions and Too Little English
There are very few English TV channels and no English movie channels. Not that you want to stay in your room all day watching TV; however, there may be moments when you would like to take in a good movie. Wi-Fi is not very dependable, you have to continuously login.
