Dated and worn out rooms
The rooms, along with the Kings Inn as a whole, have been described as being very tired and outdated. This has been a common complaint among past guests, with the furnishings and amenities being reportedly the worse for wear.
negative:
Lack of soundproofing
Many former visitors have claimed the rooms at the hotel are poorly soundproofed. Noise, whether from other guests or outside the accommodation, has been very disruptive in the past and detrimental to comfort levels.

Minimalistic in all areas
The Kings Inn is very much a no-thrills accommodation choice - from the shortage of room amenities to the lack of public facilities at the hotel. In addition, a variety of guests have reported that the elevator was out of commission during their stay.
