The hotel was really bad. The staff was helpful at first but was rude later on. The room was extremely dirty. We had to change the room as soon as we went inside our room.The new room was also very dirty. The bathrooms was dirty. There was a horrible smell in the bathroom.We both couldn't even take a shower the next day because it was so dirty. The room was not even cleaned the next day. When asked they told me we that they will clean it the next day.The hot water would not work. Had to keep the tap on for around 20 mins to get some hot water. Our friend who was in another room actually slipped on the bathroom at cut his arm.The staff was really unfriendly.The hotel does not even have a first aid kit.When we asked for help, instead of helping we were told to go to the pharmacy near by to seek medical help.The hotel had a night club with very strange men coming in the night.Especially the hotel next door Transatlantic their was another night club with very loud music every night.There was men and ladies coming in and out of the hotel rooms every now and then. They were drunk and very loud.It was really loud and it seemed very unsafe to stay in the hotel common area at night.We were using the internet one night and the staff from the hotel next door turned the lights off on us. The food was bad as well. It was the worst hotel room I have ever stayed in. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. The hotel boasts a 2 star but I think it should be reviewed. The common area decor was nice and sort of grand but altogether it was very run down .This is got to be the worst hotel ever.No one should have to live in a hotel like this.

I stayed here for two nights and felt that it was good value for money in an excellent location and that my room was safe and secure. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful throughout. The rooms are relatively small and basic but they are light and very clean, with nice balconies to sit out on. Breakfast is in the linked Transatlantic Hotel, giving you a chance to enjoy its "bygone era" granduer. A very good budget option all in all.

Stayed for 2 nites. Fighting outside lobby/bar nightly. Rooms small, broken art and furniture,door barely locked and easily picked by novice. Airconditioning constantly leaking in middle of room, no warm water on 2nd day. No wi-fi as advertised. Restaraunt with nice decor but poor menu and ultra-minimal biscuit,coffee, jelly and a couple slices of lunch meat. Staff helpful at first, but very pushy and even rude for tips later....even after tipping quite well! Much more.... but generally all negative.
Good news is it was cheapest and nice local architecture/art on 1st floor only. Not worth the savings.....especially when personal safety involved. Please dont take the kids!

THe exterior of this hotel is a birthday cake of art deco marvelousness, and the tiny lobby has been tastefully redone as well. the staff could not have been any nicer and really very helpful. on the downside, the rooms while recently redone, were done so on a very small budget and it shows. musty and damp. and the noise from the disco down the street kept me awake until 4-5 am the two weeknights i was there.
