Negative Reviews
negative:
Not A Ton of Space
While you will find the rooms interesting and fun, you may not find enough space for all of your belongings. The hotel is lacking when it comes to storage, which can be impractical after a while.
negative:
Much Traffic Noise
Even if you book a room that faces the garden,
not the road, you will still deal with a decent amount of noise during your
stay. You may want to pack earplugs to make sure you can get a good night's
sleep.
negative:
Not Enough Lights
As you get situated in your room, you will likely notice there aren't enough lights in there. This means your room can come across as dark and depressing, even during the day.
