Swat Continental Hotel

Stayed one night and was happy to leave. All rooms face a busy street with heavy traffic and constant honking. There is no soundproofing whatsoever. The place is very dirty, from the furniture to the windows (you can barely see through them). The first room they showed me had no hot water. The bed had clearly been slept in: the sheets were wrinkled and there was hair. The bottom sheet didn’t cover the full length of the mattress. There were no towels or toilet paper (eventually brought upon request). No night lamp and no light switch near the bed. There were two floor lamps with broken cords, therefore useless. In the second room they showed me, the bed had also clearly been slept in – it seems that they routinely don’t change bed linen in between guests. Eventually they changed the sheets. The fridge didn’t work (the cord was torn and the plug was missing). No night lamp and no light switch near the bed. There were one floor lamp with a broken cord. In the bathroom, the toilet didn’t flush. There was a pitcher nearby, apparently to flush it manually. The A/C worked well, but it was placed facing the bed (not above the bed as it's usually the case), and the flow of cold air was uncomfortable. In the bathroom, the window didn't close. The shower was located in a corner of the bathroom, there was no shower tray or curtain. The water drained slowly. Water pressure was good, and temperature not very hot, but still ok. There are frequent power cuts (load shedding) in the area (three in 16 hours). The hotel has a generator but it takes 5-10 minutes to come on (very inconvenient in the evening). There was no flashlight. Very slow wifi Breakfast (to order) was ok, although selection was very limited.
