4/10 Fair
30 May 2022
The room was cleaned, but smelled strongly of stale cigarette smoke to the extent where all my clothes and belongings smelled like smoke when I left. Opening the window didn't help. The walls are extremely thin, like paper mache so you can hear the noise and conversations of all the other inhabitants during the night. The shower room ceiling paint was peeling off in big sheets, there was rust in the shower cubicle, the carpets and furnishings were old and cheap. No kettle or tea making facility in the rooms. No breakfast included in the price so I can't comment on that. A cat lives in the breakfast room. Really poor instructions on how to access the building after 10pm - I tried for ages to get into the side door to the building and thought I had the wrong key. For anyone else who thinks they are locked out, there is a back entrance a couple of hundred metres away down a dark side alley. I only stayed in this place because everywhere nearby was booked up for a conference on this night (the two other local properties I stayed in the same week were great and much better value). On the plus side the bed was narrow but reasonably comfortable, the room had an ensuite shower room/toilet and you can leave your luggage (unattended) at the reception desk. Overall I wouldn't stay again and I wouldn't recommend this place unless you have low standards, are a smoker/have anosmia/ are a heavy sleeper, or are desperate. My advice is book earlier and stay somewhere else.
