PROS: centrally located to everything and transportation; they allowed me to check in at 10:00 a.m. instead of waiting until 2:00 p.m. at no extra charge. CONS: Upon entering the hotel I was hit with an overwhelming stench mixed with moldiness (that’s the best way to describe it). No elevator. Walked two flights up to my floor. Couldn’t locate my room because it was located in a very dimly lit area with three doors off the main hallway. The room was very small (not an issue for me) but no WiFi, no towels, no phone, no coffeemaker or kettle, no microwave, no safe, no towels, a thin sheet over a mattress (same for the pillow case). Two thin and dirty smelly blankets in the cupboard. Two small soap bars and a small packet each of shampoo and conditioner. I Went outside and when I returned a woman was spraying liquid on the carpeted steps and using a broom or mop to scrub them. The moldy smell remained through my stay at the hotel. I asked for towels and she brought me one. She said I could only get one towel. The property did not respond when I asked for a second towel. I stayed 3 days/3 nights and not once saw anyone at the reception and not once was the room cleaned or the garbage removed I was instructed by text to leave the key in the reception desk when I checked out. I would not stay here again.

They advertise that they have wifi and laundry. The wifi only works if you sit on an uncomfortable couch by the front desk. There is no laundry service at all.

False advertising, slow to respond, and there were cockroaches in the bathroom.

Would not stay again.

I spent a good deal of time wondering what the big red stain on the curtains could be, and finally decided that even the good answers were pretty bad, and left. Was able to find a hotel in a nicer area for just $5 more, and it was very much worth the upgrade. This hotel was really creepy. Check-in was with the Chinese restaurant next-door. Room was small and located down a ramshackle hallway. Weird sounds at night. Location is pretty good, but I would not recommend to anyone.

Location, location, location!

The location is excellent! Excellent transport route. It is in the middle of the city.
There was no one at reception when i arrived about 22:30. Got help from someone to ring the number on the front door and they brought the key and the fob.
I didn’t see any kettle, tea or coffee. It is basic but cool, as you can get coffee at next door restaurant.

The location is good, there isn't much choice of budget hotels central. I would stay again but the front desk isn't 24hours and you've got to be patient to check-in. But the staff was very helpful and helped me with a taxi.

Great location for city centre, five-minute walk. But no cleaners so no dry towels, bed never changed over four-night stay. Breakfast was included, but that amounts to a cup of coffee and a muffin/savoury in a bakery next to hotel. But the staff there were welcoming as were hotel receptionists who were young, willing and spoke very good English. Reception was also open 24/7.

The accommodation is in the city center, close to the pedestrian street!
The cleanliness and condition of the hotel is highly objectionable!
There was no wifi in the room, only outside in the corridor!
At first we thought this would be the biggest problem, but later we were shocked!
The toilet tank did not drain water, to fix this they put a bucket with holes in it!
We reported it immediately, but there was no answer or solution!

立地以外に評価する点は少なく､ベッドが清潔なこととシャワーのお湯が出ることくらいです。
連泊しましたが1枚しか供給されないタオルの交換やゴミ箱の片付けもなく､何よりレセプションから廊下､部屋に至るまでの暗さ､汚さは宿泊施設とは思えないものでした。シャワーにカーテンがなくトイレまで水浸しになります。浴室の電気が切れていましたが交換を依頼するスタッフはいつも不在でした。
周辺施設より安価でしたがホステルにすればよかったと思ったレベルでした。速やかなリノベーションとサービス向上が必要だと思います。

The hotel is centrally located. Everything you need is nearby. The receptionist helped us with our luggage. Our sheets were clean, but the hotel is old and neglected. I don't know if the heater wasn't working or not, but we turned on the air conditioner. The hair dryer in the room wasn't working. And water was leaking from somewhere; the bathroom floor was covered in water

Asqueroso se queda corto

Horrible. La recepción no es 24 h y no nos avisaron. El ascensor roto. Entramos a la habitación y resulta que nos tuvimos que poner a hacer las camas nosotros mismos. Nos encontramos los colchones mugrientos descubiertos con una simple sábana encima. Además, lo único que había encima de la cama era otra sábana para cubir los edredones que estaban dentro del armario y tuvimos que ponernos nosotros a meterlos dentro de los cubre edredones. Los edredones asquerosos, con pelotillas y suciedad. Las sábanas con manchas. Las paredes con manchas y desgastadas. Por si fuese poco, el suelo de la habitación estaba lleno de polvo, hecho bolas y había bastante. Ahora vamos con el baño: la alcachofa de la ducha rota, se salía el agua por todos lados, no había toalla para el suelo, únicamente nos dieron una toalla mediana por persona. No había champú (pese haber preguntado con anterioridad y ellos nos confirmarnos que sí que habría). En fin, daba todo asco. Lo único bueno la zona, pero para dormir en una casa del terror mejor buscar otras opciones. No repetiría.

Muy feo el hotel, huelo a mucha humedad, la alfombra muy sucia, no funcionaba el elevador, no tenia restaurante, costales de basura en la recepción. Lo tienen como 3* y el lugar dice 1*, la calefacción muy caliente y no la pudieron bajar, el baño no tenia cortina, no dejaron shampoo y no hicieron el cuarto al dia siguiente, no hablan inglés, no pudimos encargar el equipaje. Te dan un contro para que tú abras y cierres ya que no hay nadie en la recepción a ninguna hora. Me arrepiento de haberlo reservado, tuve que cambiarme de hotel

Avskyvärt hotell

Detta hotell är avskyvärt. Hotellet är i behov av renovering, det är trasigt och smutsigt. Det finns ingen hiss men personalen erbjöd sig att bära väskan till rummet. Första natten fick vi ett rum med en väldigt liten säng till två personer,rummet var även väldigt litet,ingen plats till att fälla upp en väska,aircondition fungerade inte.Det luktade väldigt mycket ciggaretter och mögel,det var svartmögel på väggarna. Nästa dag fick vi byta rum eftersom det luktade så illa,detta rum var lite större och luktade lite mindre rök. Hotellet erbjuder ingen frukost. Utöver all negativ kritik så är det ett fantastiskt läge, bara 5 minuters promenad till den stora huvudgatan.
