Negative Reviews
negative:
Rooms need updating.
Some guests say that the rooms are a bit basic, and you might find that some items of furniture have seen better days. Overall, the rooms could probably do with some refurbishment to bring them up to date and to give them a fresher look.
negative:
Problems with the air con.
The air conditioning can be problematic at this hotel, and some guests report that it didn't work at all during their stay. Staff will try to resolve the problem if it arises by providing fans, but it may mean that your room is a bit hot in the summer.
negative:
The Wi-Fi isn't great.
The Wi-Fi is fairly erratic, according to guests, and you may be frustrated by the connection dropping while you're in the middle of something. If you're desperate to get online, the hotel's reception area might be the best bet for a reasonable signal.
