Lobby packed when I arrived(coach party?) popped out for a beer and when I came back the single woman on the desk struggled to cope. WiFi in room was useless-I had to go down to the lobby to update email etc. Overall the condition of the room showed a need for complete refurbishment, which should include additional soundproofing. ##### R N Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Christy 23 Jun 2023 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### It’s at least a bed to sleep in. It’s a bed to sleep in…. The entrance to the hotel is very nice.

The hotel is very old and the tub is so deep and slippery. I was so scared of taking a shower. At night time there was partying and drinking until dawn. It gets so loud we couldn’t sleep. And in the morning trucks come by to collect alcohol bottles from the street. ##### shamiram Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Baljinder 1 Aug 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service Nothing.
