This was perhaps what guests were most unhappy about. Guests after guest listed problems they found with the cleanliness of their rooms. It was not just a matter of a little dirt here or there, but rather that the entire room was said to be filthy, with some not at all surprised to see cockroaches scurrying around.

But it wasn't only cleanliness that was a problem. Guests also mentioned that the décor was looking very tired indeed, with faded fabrics, dings, scratches and other signs of excessive wear and tear. They were unanimous in the belief that the whole place desperately needed a full renovation.

Though some guests did complain of some street noise, it seems that the main problem, when it came to noise, was not from the street but from other guests. Reviewers describe a property that is neither hotel nor apartment rental, but rather hostel. In fact the feeling guests got when staying there was that it was a badly managed hostel, which included other guests who were allowed to be loud and disruptive.
