Nothing good. The place was dirty, untidy, old, and really worn out, with a lot of drug use.

I stayed in a place that was old, tired, and dirty, with people living there full time, and the halls smelled like drugs.

Living in a 150‑year‑old building was pretty interesting; the pub downstairs felt cozy and the staff were super friendly! The shower head in the bathroom is a spray, which is less helpful for shorter people; a handheld unit would be nicer, and a hair dryer would be appreciated.

We really appreciated the excellent reception staff who welcomed us and tried everything to ease the problems we ran into. The building itself was basically in ruins, full of dirt, spiders on the walls, broken furniture, and overall poor condition, but we stayed there because we had no other options.

The room was dirty and smelled bad.
