Cheap affordable accomodation not for nagging pple

Book at your discretion. Not for person who nags much as this hotel is close to a bar and the noise is too loud and for a sensitive noise person u won't sleep. Unlike me l am not subjected to noise l slept. The hotel needs renovation as one window was broken, the room had no toilet seat and there is no restaurant you have to go out to eat. Overally good for bed only person and price is cheap and not a nagging person otherwise u won't be able to tolerate some of the things like noise, toilet seat missing broken window. It is also good in terms of location as it is in town center

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort

To be fair

I found Grey's Inn spacious, clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. There were both SA and UK type power sockets in my room, the mattress was comfortable and for my purposes the location was great. My room was dated and quite noisy as I was above the bar and street facing.

Place is so dated and dirty. Dirty towels and everything is falling apart and no sign of any renovations. Cockroaches, rats and misquotes galore. Though centrally located, not value for the money being charged.

酒店位置非常優越

酒店位置就在市中心邊， 但因為有點年久失修， 有很多曱甴出沒， 沖涼時要問前臺拿熱水， 但找不到更便宜的了， 對於背包客， 如果不介意曱甴， 因為啲床鋪還是整潔的， 我還是推薦。

Worst hotel I have stayed

Extremely loud, full of mozzies, dirty, no shower - only a hose in a tub, no towels, no breakfast, bar downstairs, which make it really uncomfortable to stay. Wouldn't recommend to anyone.

room was small but cozy...functioning shower and bathroom. Service was friendly and efficient...not the most ideal place but overall leads to a good African experience. Beds were comfy and you can watch the Champions league in your room.
