Negative Reviews
negative:
A bit cramped
Guests are often disappointed with the size of their rooms - some of which are extremely small with no space for luggage. The bathrooms are also very compact and the showers are a tight squeeze - not to mention the tiny lift!
negative:
Difficult to locate
Even if you are armed with a sat-nav and map of the town, you may still struggle to find the hotel. Guests say it is poorly indicated and difficult to locate, with no visible sign from the street.
negative:
Wi-Fi is intermittent
If getting online is important to you, you may be left frustrated at this hotel. Guests say that the connection is very poor and irregular. If you're lucky you'll get a poor signal - if not, nothing at all.
