Negative Reviews
negative:
Maintenance just come right in.
When guests make a call for something in their room to be fixed, the maintenance men don't seem to hesitate. Thankfully there is no wait for repairs, but guests may prefer it if the knock was answered before they let themselves in.
negative:
Weekly fire checks.
For those who love their sleep then this place is not for them. The weekly fire check seem to always happen on a weekend morning, and guests are then either rudely awoken by the loud noise, or forced to evacuate as a drill.
negative:
Cleaning could be better.
With so many students making use of Victoria Hall as their place of residence while studying, one would think that the cleaning aspect from the staff side would be better managed. Alas, it is not.
