Loud and basic
There are improvements being carried out, which will make a difference in the future. We were unable to get the advertised wifi at all, despite the router being reset many times. This was annoying. On four occasions we had random people enter our room without knocking, which was not okay. Once guy even got cross with us and said we should have locked the door. I had to clean the bathroom before use and despite being given a non-smoking room, the smell of cigarettes was present I. The duvet, towels and there was cigarette ash all over the top of the toilet seat. Cigarette burns were present on the furniture. A local mosque is across the road and while we enjoy hearing the call to prayer, it was not so great to hear each session broadcast over mega-speakers outside. Every mic drop/exchange, everything and with single-glazed windows, we didn't get much sleep. Close to amenities though and staff are nice.

Old hotel
Hotel is old and not much maintained. Need to climb stairs to get hot water. Written non smoking room but with ash tray to encourage people smoking in room and room with smoking smell from people smoking outside of the room. Anyway location is good and price is cheap.

The hotel is simple, have a modest lift. Quite surprising for a small hotel. Location is in center of town, just few minutes walk to harbour mall. Fairly priced.....not much to expect...

The hotel location was in the center of town, near to restaurants. But it's not a non-smoking hotel, so we can smell the stink in the lift and inside the rooms which makes it quite uncomfortable....

choked with cigarettes smoke and then
For what ever reason, our room was filled with smoke. we could not breathe. then the next building motor (the air con we believe ) was loud and thumping. we requested to change room. From our king bed, the only bed available was the twin single bed. No WiFi in the room. only outside or reception. It was the worst place I stayed.

Chambre très très sale avec une forte odeur de cigarette, du jamais vu. Nous n’avons pas pu dormir là-bas tellement c’était horrible. Nous avons pris un autre hôtel. A fuir

Dobre położenie, blisko centrum. Niestety w całym hotelu czuć woń dymu papierosowego. Brak odpowiedniej wentylacji na korytarzach.

立地が良い
賑やかなハーバースクエアまで数分という立地の良さが売りです。 全体的に設備は古く、薄暗い感じですが、清潔感はあります。 到着日と帰国前日に宿泊したのですが、２泊目の部屋はお湯が出なく水シャワーでした。 いちいち言うのが面倒だったのと、水でも気にならない気温だったのでそのままにしましたが、気になる方は言えば部屋を替えてもらえると思います。ガラガラでしたから。
