Negative Reviews
negative:
Noise from the street.
Guests staying in the street-facing rooms find that there can be a fair bit of noise from the trams rattling by outside, and since the transport doesn't stop until fairly late, it might cause issues if you're a light sleeper - you may want to request a room at the back of the hotel.
negative:
Rooms need updating.
Some aspects of the room could do with refurbishment,
particularly the beds, which some guests say are old and not that comfortable.
Overall, you might find the rooms a bit dated and in need of some freshening up
in terms of the décor.
negative:
Unreliable WiFi.
The WiFi can be unreliable, which is a particular issue in a business-oriented hotel like this one. Some guests say that the log-in procedure is not straightforward, and once you've navigated that, you may find that the connection drops just as you're trying to send an email.
