Absolutely disgusting.By far the worst experience I’ve ever had. Bed bugs, covered from head to toe in bites and rashes which I’m now having to have medically treated. How this hotel hasn’t been shut down by now is baffling. Avoid at all costs, pay a little extra and get somewhere nicer.PS; this was my 2nd room since my 1st room also had bed bugs!!

We had booked to stay at Smith's hotel for 4 nights but ended up leaving after just one. When checking in the staff were friendly, but the interior of the hotel it's self was very dirty and worn, in the hallways it looked like the carpets had not been vacuumed for a very long time. The biggest problem was our room. It was very small and basic, but that would not have been a problem for us. What was a problem was how dirty and unhygenic the room was. The mattress was rock hard, stained, and gave us both a very sore back after just one night. There were dark stains on the duvet cover, and in the morning we noticed other very disturbing stains on the skirt of the bed. In the bathroom there was tooth paste spray on the wall next to the sink from previous guests, and there was hair and dust on the floor. The window had a broken hinge and was dangerous if we wanted to have it open. We had planned to have breakfast at the hotel, but seeing the hygiene standards of the room changed our mind. I have only given service 2 stars because management need to address the hygiene and safety issues.

Dirty. I arrived as they finished “cleaning” my room and found the bathroom basically untouched except to throw in new soaps. The last persons spat out toothpaste was still in the sink and their hair in the shower. The rooms are like a shoe box in terms of size and despite this being the cheapest option for one night (on a weekday!) it was still almost $100.

At first was worried because of some previous negative reviews but was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. It was a lot better than what others have been saying on Tripadvisor. …

Have stayed in hundreds of hotels. Friendliest Staff were here. Such nice, kind, genuine people. I owe them a lot. Good access for city. I thought the room was fine. I hold quite a lot of affection for this place as the staff were like family to me at a hard time in my life. ||I miss the breakfasts. They were great.

Definitely a 2 star hotel. Staff are helpful and friendly. But the rooms are awful. Windows have never been cleaned, bathroom had a broken handle and no lock in the inside. Ever bed sheet had a Stain and the room stank of cigarettes, weed and damp.

perfect example of a budget hotel. super friendly and helpful staff. the building is old but the warmth is welcoming. Umar was exceptional at helping us after we had to change hotel and needed one at short notice. first room was noisy and they graciously changed the room for us.
