Free breakfast underwhelmed some guests
The simple free breakfast was lacking in variety, according to several critics. Others claimed selected menu items were prone to running out during the busiest periods.
negative:
Nuisance smells and noises
Light sleepers blamed insufficient soundproofing measures for enabling them to occasionally hear nuisance noise from adjoining rooms and corridors. Stale smoky odours and musty smells also proved to be off-putting for guests in certain rooms.
negative:
Cleanliness and maintenance problems
Inadequately cleaned bathrooms and bedroom floors, tired-looking kitchen appliances and furniture, unmade beds, stained bedding, leftover litter and poor free Wi-Fi coverage were among the maintenance and cleanliness issues that bothered visitors in several rooms. Some travellers described encounters with cockroaches or wished the free weekly housekeeping had been offered more frequently.
