Negative Reviews
negative:
Dirty rooms and bathrooms.
Guests have complained about the state of cleanliness in this hotel, reporting bugs, cockroaches, and toilets in a state of disrepair. You can get fresh towels and linens at reception, but that doesn't solve the big issues.
negative:
The service isn't great.
While some guests haven't had a problem with staff, many have found the service either slow or downright rude. This is really a place to sleep for the night, with little in the way of a warm welcome or assistance.
negative:
It can feel a bit unsafe.
Some guests complain about the hazardous staircase; for others, the problem has been with loose, ground-floor windows, or the lax security of the luggage storage. Whatever the case, many guests don't feel safe here.
