The worst thing guests say
Booking and billing disputes. In September 2025 a guest said they were charged twice and could not get the hold released. In 2024 two guests reported the hotel cancelled their reservation days before arrival. In September 2026 a guest said the single room did not match the photos. Rooms are small in many reviews, and a toilet problem was reported in October 2025.
Insider tips

- Ask for room 205, which one guest called spacious.
Who it's for: couples and solo travelers who want a central address and a good breakfast.
