Disgusting, cockroach hotel, and smells like cigarettes.
Cons:

There was a man passed out drunk in the hall to the rooms, with a can in front of him (2pm in the afternoon). Rooms smelt like cigarettes and urine. Cockroaches found their way into my shoes within 20mins of arriving, and I had to bin a new pair of socks because there was ‘bug juice’ all over them by the time I was getting ready to leave the next morning. Mould all throughout the bathroom and broken furniture. Sheets were dirty and stained, but thankfully no bedbugs. All of the pictures on the website at 5+ years old, they do not look anywhere remote as nice anymore. People yelling in the halls at 3am. Man who was obviously substance affected wanted to take my bag downstairs for me the next day, and get a ‘hug’ in return and wouldn’t leave me alone until I spoke about my Dad coming to pick me up. I stayed for barely 1 night, and will never return to Lakemba again. I’ve never felt more unsafe at a hotel, but had no other choice than to stay the night. If there was any staff to speak to about getting a refund, they were nowhere to be found, probably wrestling some drunk man off the Keno.

Shit hotel you can’t smoke inside the rooms but allow to smoke at the bar which brings the smoke odour up in the hotel r
Pros:

Nothing was liked about this property because the post online looks very welcoming but don’t match the same way it looked online

Cons:

Didn’t like the property it wasn’t as it looked online the carpets on the floor was dirty the smell in the room wasn’t pleasant and was dirty the rooms online looked cozy and welcoming but reality it was very small not enough space to move around and there was bugs and cockroaches in the room which made our visit very uncomfortable that we had to leave the same night the walls had cracks in them
Overall it wasn’t what we expected or experienced.
