Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Property was under renovation, I can allow for that. However, peeling wall paint, uneven cots, not really beds, broken heaters was too much for the price. The owner/ manager is a nice guy. The housekeeper is awful. There was no housekeeping, we had to use the same few towels for three days. One of our part suffered what look like bed bug or flea bites. The worst thing was the noise from the night club next door. Ear plugs were not adequate for the heavy percussion. Way overpriced.

Overpriced

The stay was below average. No teaspoon to stir hot beverages. Toilet seat was loose and the wrong type. No soap available for the bathroom. Nighttime noise was audible from the streets despite being at the back of the hotel and windows closed.

This was not a nice place to stay. The room was dirty, the window was broken and leaned in against a shelf, floors were very sloped and the carpet coming up, our door didn't lock, it smelled bad

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The best thing about this property was its central location, and walkable distance from train station, city center and sights. The staff was friendly. While the online image looked pleasant, the building was overall poorly kept. Windows were not cleaned. I had roosting birds right above my window, poop on the window and bird debris falling through the window, which needed to stay open to get some fresh air in the room. The room had a musky stench, carpet had burn marks, the shower head bar fell straight out of the wall. The worst was the ever-present noise of slamming room (fire) doors, surrounding tenants due to thin walls and the pub across the street of the hotel blasting music from noon to late in the night. No elevator or lock box available. How about getting a new round of pillows every now and then? I won't stay here again.

Hard to imagine how this hotel could be worse

Here's the hit parade of awful I experienced during my 17 hours there. - Bedbugs - Broken window in room - Window in room used as an ashtray (hard to explain unless you can see it) - Filthy window ledge - Ambiguous stains on carpet - General smell (urine) - No bin in room - Broken wardrobe - Curtain didn't close - WiFi didn't reach the room - Doors slamming due to poorly fitted closers - Shower door hanging off - The whole room shaking due to a washing machine above - including before 7am! Excellent location, mind. The only real credit I can give this hotel is that when I told them I was checking out and expected a full refund they agreed immediately. They didn't even ask what the issues were, which to my mind speaks volumes.

I had seen the other reviews imploring people to stay away from this guest house. I decided to give it a go. Pro- Great location, less than 5 minutes walk from the train & bus station. Lots of pubs and restaurants within walking distance. Pro- There was nothing else available for this price when I stayed in town. The other options were extraordinarily more expensive. The staff working here are very friendly. Pro- The bathroom did look to be recently remodeled with new fixtures. The room had plenty of outlets for charging my electronics. Con- The towels were stained. One of the towels had red, brown, yellow and black stains on it. There were some smaller stains on the bedding. Con - WiFi only worked in the lobby. I was on the 2nd floor and had no connection there. Con - I was there during the weekend and the neighboring pubs were playing dance music until 2am. Made it quite difficult to fall asleep. The mattress was also not very comfortable. Bottom line, for a quick stay this place will do. But for a long term solution, I would look elsewhere.

Don’t stay here.

Towels were threadbare and stained. Bed sheet wasn’t much better. They didn’t have any shampoo or hand soap. When asked, was informed they ran out. The window was stuck in the open position and could not be closed. Overall condition of the room was poor.

The check in was quick with the facilities being well explained, but after that it was down hill. whilst the room was adequate the fiitures were not. The floor of the shower was extremely slippery when wet so much so I only used it the once, being afraid of falling and injuring myself. The bed whilst clean was lumpy and therefore uncomfortable, the window was stuck partly open and required some force to close it, and then open it in the morning. The bedside lamp was huge an wobbly and did not work. All these points would have been raised when I left but there was no one at the desk or anywhere in sight.
