Negative Reviews
negative:
Questionable safety in neighborhood
A number of reviewers feel that the neighborhood in which the hotel is located is the biggest factor working against it, as it is a rather unsafe area. Previous guests report that it was recommended they take a private car rather than walk, which many found disconcerting.
negative:
External noise can be a problem
Previous guests advise light sleepers to bring ear plugs with them, as street noise and sounds from neighboring rooms tend to find their way through the walls here.
negative:
Hot water hit or miss
The hotel advertises hot water but reviewers seem to disagree - many previous guests note that they had no hot water running their rooms at all, or that its availability was rather unpredictable.
