Noisy local traffic
Guests recommended bringing ear plugs especially if you're a light sleeper as the streets are busy and the sound of local traffic can be noisy.
negative:
Housekeeping needs attention
Cleaning oversights have been reported with guests complaining that upon arrival the rooms had not been thoroughly cleaned and at times evidence of previous guests, such as hair in the bathroom, had been founds. In some instances ants have also been found in the rooms.

Simple and dated
Guests reported that the hotel is set in an old building and both the rooms and decor are dated. The bathrooms, though functional, would also benefit from refurbishment.
