An unmanned, bare bones option in a cute area

The room was basic, furnished and refurbished to the cheapest of standards without even a mixing tap in the bathroom. Bedlinens, though clean, were stained and unsightly. The mattress felt old and worn, though I profess I slept fine. For a bare-bones basic place to sleep in trendy Kemptown, you get your money's worth (e.g. it was less than half the price of any other option I found). Several buses service the area and it's only a block from the coast. The major problem I had was not receiving entry instructions as the "hotel" is unmanned, requiring me to reach out to the very helpful third-party service contractors on WhatsApp and delaying my check-in, thus causing me to arrive late at an event I was in town for. Furthermore, my access request had been ignored and I was assigned a room up many stairs when I had specifically requested a lower floor due to limited mobility. Although this was rectified by the third party service contractors, again the massive inconvenience delayed me and could have been avoided.

Not terrible but pictures need updating.

Some of the reviews of this place are a little harsh. We stayed in Room 8 on the top floor. The hotel is a little dated and could do with an upgrade and repaint. I think the issue is that the picture they have on here are probably taken a while ago. The room and bedding was clean and we had hot water for the shower at all times. The keyless entry for the main door and room is very useful and save you having to carry a key around. If your looking for cheap hotel with no frills this is one to consider but do not expect too much and certainly not what the images show. But I would rule this place out just because of that. I would suggest that the hotel updates the pictures and that way the reviews wouldn’t be so bad.

Terrible, disgusting, do not book

Seemed like a complete scam. The photos bore no resemblance to the location. When I booked, the receipt showed a certain street address, but the day before arrival I got an email with a different address. No staff, no lobby, just key-boxes. Carpets were stained and ripped. Room was tiny, dirty and stifling hot. To finish it off, the toilet had not been flushed, meaning that there was either no cleaning at all (so presumably the sheets had not been changed either), or the cleaning was awful. I walked in, looked around and walked out. I have phoned and messaged the "hotel" multiple times with no response at all. I have now contacted the local City authority as I suspect this place is not licensed, and I have contacted hotels.com and my credit card company for a full refund as this seems to be a complete fraud. Stupidly, I did not think to take any photos.

They took over a week to reply to a question, there were no codes available to enter the property or codes for the rooms for multiple guests including me, the standing fan was broken, the bathroom light was broken, the only access to the outside for cooling or a breeze was a dank little courtyard that was literally swarming with mosquitoes, and I received no contact about the broken light and fan for over 6 hours before I left.

Nice location and good sized room. Room gets very warm even with the fan provided, as it gets direct sunlight in the morning. Be aware there is no reception of any kind, so you need to make sure you have been sent the building/room code and instructions to get in when you arrive. I hadn’t been emailed mine, and had to call the property phone number to get it, but the help over the phone was very nice and I got what I needed. Otherwise great room for the price.

We had a very disappointing experience at this guesthouse and wouldn’t recommend it. Firstly, we were not sent the check-in details or entry codes in advance, meaning we struggled to access the building on arrival. We had to call the property to get this information. All other guests that arrived had the same issue. What was most upsetting, however, was discovering that we’d been placed in a basement room, which was not made clear at the time of booking. We reserved a standard double room with an en-suite, and the photos showed a bright, airy space with natural light. Instead, we were given a dingy, dark basement room with zero natural light and no privacy. People walking past could look directly into the room. It felt more like a converted storage area than a proper guest room. On arrival, we were met with a pile of bin bags and dirty laundry in the hallway just outside the room, creating an awful stench which also seeped into the room. The lack of ventilation made everything worse. The toilet paper was damp, the air was thick and musty, and there were clear signs of neglect, including mould growing at the base of the toilet, a broken window handle, a crack in the window covered in duct tape and a leaking shower due to missing sealant. We raised these issues with the property, but they were unable to offer us an alternative room. This should have been advertised as a basement room at a significantly lower price. We feel ripped off, misled, and regret booking this place.

Property was clean and relatively easy to locate. Instructions on how to enter the building were sent the same day as arrival at 14:30 so a bit late and the WiFi did not work at all anywhere except the ground floor(my room was on the second floor). Other than this it was a pleasant stay.
