Ria apartment is a dreamboat from the 70s! Nothing has been changed or cleaned since. The corridors dingy & moist. The 2nd floor convenience store is like HEAVEN to a cockroach like me. Caked with the dirt of agesVisit and stay at Ria Apartment TODAY!

Thanks to your "BEST TIP" of leaving the jackpot machine after winning some money, By the way, as a tip, make sure Rooms are made up when you check into Hotel First World. The sight of ruffled sheets and dirty toilets is off-putting.

Very true, It is huge hotel hence you dont get attention despite many request. It is very noisy, you can hear everything from rooms around you. Not worth trying unless no option.
