Benakutai is not what it used to be, little by little we are starting to make improvements here and there. I have proven various rumors, such as bad, dirty, damaged rooms, bad service and lots of ghosts, to be untrue. The rooms are old, but overall they are still in a decent category, especially considering the price is very affordable compared to hotels in its class. In my opinion, the service is very good, the checkin process is very simple and fairly fast. The receptionist, security and roomboys were friendly even though there seemed to be a shortage of people.

The rooms are very dirty, the interior is too old, the hotel atmosphere is tense and you hear mystical sounds in the middle of the night. The toilet can't be locked, the AC is hot. Requires major renovation.

Even though it's an old building... you can see the remains of the luxury of the hotel from its time...🤗The facilities are quite complete for a cheap price rate in the middle of the city...Strategic..the restaurant is active and the food is delicious..
