“Filipino Flophouse”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 July 2010

The place was absolutely filthy, the staff weren't that bad, the guests were mostly loud drunks and large groups of polish transients. After using the shower you actually felt dirtier than you did before entering it. I mean we were after a bit of Eastern European grime, but after a few days here I felt like I needed a tetanus shot or two.

“Small room”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 January 2010

It was quite clean and location was nice as well. However, our room (private) was extremely small and that's why not very comfortable. We did not like staff too.

Stayed April 2009, travelled as a couple

“Disgusting”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 November 2009

I can't believe this place is even listed here. An absolute disgrace. Akin to a 'gulag' I would suggest.

“don't expect hot water”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 June 2009

when we arrived we were advised that they had been double booked and didnt know how that had happened but that they had a different room for us. as it was late at night and we had travelled for 18 hours to get there, we checked in..... the reception staff are very friendly however the owner decided to turn the hot water off and refused to switch it back on again --- apart from when we confronted them in reception when other guests were checking in.... it was very quickly switched off again after we had showered. this venue has lots of possibilities and is in an excellent location but after a long days walking, it's not to much to as for hot water to shower in................
