If you enjoy staying in a place where every piece of furniture in the room is broken, wondering what those splatters up the wall are and if they're related to the huge stain on the middle of the bed cover, spending the night with bed bugs, and the smell of sewage, this is the hotel for you. Any money saved on your accommodation budget will be spent on bed bug treatment and bite remedies - BE WARNED!!

Floors and bedding stained. Hand towel and face cloth would have been good. Visible piping was loud. A couple more pillows would have been more comfy. It was an ok place to stay. Just needs some TLC

There is a reason its so cheap but trust me you won't sleep. I booked room with 2 double beds. The bathroom door was off hinge, couldnt shut it. Couldnt use shower or toilet without all occupants seeing. High windows let in bright hall night light that turned off & on waking us all night. The stairwell fire door clunked shut loudly through the night waking us & the service elevator shook the wall against the beds from early in the morning. Loud music from the gym in the same building woke me in early hours too. We were exhausted by checkout. The comunal areas weren't cleaned. Dusty & grimy. Comunal/shared bathroom ran out of toilet paper. Bedside lamps had broken or missing bulbs. This isnt even a case of you get what you paid for as the room ended up costing $180 for the 4 of us for the night. I booked extra rooms for our group to stay together. One room had no curtains to block light from street. No fresh towel replacement even after 3 night stay. It could be good but is run on the cheap. Location is great tho. Easy walk to everything.

Very budget, in need of repairs
Location within the city is great however, the whole place is a bit dilapidated. So many holes in the walls, not surprising because they are so thin, could hear every conversation in the room next door. And a little bizarre to have a shower just in the corner of the bedroom, very strange layout. But for a cheap place to sleep for the night it does the job
