I stayed here with my brother for a week over new years. First off the so called room was more like a sub basement, or storage room converted into a room. I was at least expecting a standard hotel room, very disappointing. Believe it or not it could have been worse as we noticed they had basement rooms with no windows. At least we had windows in our storage room. There was no plug for the sink and when I asked for one, I was told there were none in the hotel. How strange.
Within an hour of arriving at our room the lady from the reception came banging on our door and more or less accused us of tampering with the smoke alarm, we did no such thing. She tried to make out that their smoke alarms are somehow monitored and ours was being tampered with. I can only imagine this was some sort of scare tactic to stop people smoking in their rooms, which as non-smokers, we had not intention of doing. And the place stunk of weed anyway, so I'm not sure what she was trying to achieve.
The only good thing about this hotel was it's location. It's located near central station and it's quite easy to walk to all the different districts from the hotel.
