1/5
Great location for the train station. And that's all it has going for it. Rooms are dated and worn. Area is disgusting around the entrance, rubbish and general waste strewn everywhere. Went to use the guest toilets downstairs and there was feces on the lock. Stayed in 2 separate rooms and both did not have adequate air conditioning. Loud argumentative people always hanging around outside the hotel and can be heard all night. Had breakfast one day, which one was fine however too many touch points for customers to contaminate food.

5/5
Location is a little scary. Lots of people hang around outside and it is quite intimidating. Especially after reading others experiences, made me happy to leave. I didn't want to go out in the evening. It is directly outside the station so good location if you want to get a train early. Not great if you want to explore the city as a tourist due to feeling intimidated leaving and entering. They had a security guard on all day inside reception, which had some reassurance. All doors and lifts are secure with room key entry which is also reassuring. Room was clean and as expected. Think I was bitten in bed. Not sure if a gnat through the window or a big in the bed. No sign of bed bugs. Breakfast is normal self serve cooked and continental. Staff helpful and professional.
