Negative Reviews
negative:
Compact rooms and bathrooms
Rooms and bathrooms are smaller than some guests are used to. While not uncomfortably so, there are some minor issues such as there not being much room to open a suitcase and no space around the bathroom sink to keep any toiletries.
negative:
Poor Wi-Fi
While guests appreciate that Wi-Fi is free, they say that the service is not the best. Some find the signal is patchy, and so they keep losing the connection, while others are able to use it but say that it only works slowly.
negative:
Only One Lift
Though not a major issue, some guests have pointed out that using the lift can be a slightly frustrating experience. There is only one lift serving a high-rise hotel, so there can be some waiting around as it moves between floors.
