Negative Reviews
negative:
Soundproofing is quite insufficient
A few guests felt that the hotel needed to improve its soundproofing system. Being near the city centre the hotel was prone to high noise levels from the streets. At the hotel, a lot of doors banging and people chatting at wee hours could be heard.
negative:
Faulty shower controls at the hotel
According to most guests, the showers were unable to maintain a constant temperature and some were defective. At times the showers had limited warm water.
negative:
Warm rooms despite air conditioning
Quite a number of guests complained about the warm temperatures in their rooms especially at night. It was thought that some of the air conditioning units were faulty and didn't function satisfactorily.
