  Avoid this place as the plague. Mind you, there was in fact a plague there, consisting of bed bugs. It earned one of my very few one star reviews ever. The location is good, but:
  
  As I said, there were bed bugs, and they were hungry! To my sorrow I noticed this rather too late, and got eaten.
  
  The room was exceedingly dirty, as were the beds, and lots of things like lamps and wallsockets and what have you were broken down or worn out in equal measure. The rest of the hotel appeared to be no different.
  
  There was no hot water, and I really mean none. For days on end it was not even lukewarm, but freezing. Thus, a shower was a thoroughly unpleasant affair, and I resorted to heating water in the kettle to be able to shave.
  
  Virtually every fire door I saw was jammed open. In one case by a fire extinguisher! There was no fire escape plan to be seen and the electrical wiring was awful. Fortunately, a lot of it does not work, which rather lowers the risk, but in case of fire, this building is a death trap. There was also a lot of rubbish blocking what was probably fire escapes.
  
  WiFi was unavailable in the rooms. You could sometimes get a connection in the lobby if you were lucky.
  
  Breakfast was a sorry affair. It was free which is only fair, as nobody in their right mind would pay for it. Hint: Go to a pub instead. Another hint: Choose another place to stay in altogether.
  
  I could go on, but there is no use beating a dead horse is there? I am sure you get the idea.
