Negative Reviews
negative:
A bit too basic for some
A solid minority of guests did not like the “no frills” feel of the hotel. While they usually conceded that the room rates were quite low, they felt that it really wouldn't take much effort, or money, to add a bit of decoration and make the place look a lot better.
negative:
Bit of a dodgy lift
A number of guests were quite weary of the hotels lift, saying that it was clearly very old, and even though it was presumably maintained as per regulations, the sounds it made and its general condition did not exactly inspire a lot of confidence.
negative:
Walls are “paper thin”
Numerous guests reported that the rooms really aren't well soundproofed. Together with the hotel's popularity with those looking to explore the city's nightlife and have a good time, it seems that guests looking for an early night were often disturbed by revellers in nearby rooms.
