Negative Reviews
negative:
Small Space
According to reviews, some of the rooms and bathrooms are quite small, and the smallest options are probably best suited for one person. In addition, some of the rooms do not have windows.
negative:
Weak Wi-Fi
Several guests complained about the poor Wi-Fi connectivity throughout the hotel. The signal is quite poor to begin with, and is quite easy to lose.
negative:
Street Buzz
Some of the rooms, especially those with balconies, overlook a busy street and can be noisy. If you’re a light sleeper, you may want to ask for a quieter, though possibly windowless room, or bring some earplugs along.
