Good sized room and comfortable bed.
Pros:

Great location and great value for money. Clean room. I had a comfortable stay.

Cons:

Check in was different to what I’m used to. I guess that why it’s called the electric hotel.

dreadful sleep due to nightclub right next door
Pros:

It was comfortable and clean and in a great location except next to a nightclub with very loud music until 6am every night

Cons:

Very loud music from a nightclub next door until 6am 3 nights in a row. Left exhausted from lack of sleep. Owners did not respond to any of my messages about this. Also had no window, only a skylight. These issues should have been in the room description but were not.

We won't be staying again due to the noise from neighbouring club. It might be OK on a week night.
Pros:

Convenient location. Facilities fine.

Cons:

There was an event on at a nearby venue which continued until 4am. The bass was shaking the building painful to the ears and not possible to sleep through. Noise pollution big time.

Clean. Wouldn't stay again.
Pros:

It was clean - except floor needed vacuum. Bathroom clean, bedding etc. Very tidy.

Cons:

The bed was incredibly terrible. By 430am the first night I used all the pillows to make a bed. I can sleep anywhere usually. There was no window and from the website, I didnt consider this not to be an option.

Pros:

Comfortable and clean room, short walk to public transport.

Cons:

No reception, early arrival and unable to leave bags before check in. Entry is by code that didn't arrive by email until after check in time. Upstairs rooms have no window, only a skylight, dark and claustrophobic, did manage to get a downstairs one which was fine.

It was ok
Cons:

I am an old man and the fact everything was done via no human contact. I am not impressed with this modern trend

A clean, comfortable stay, impossible to communicate with a human and the chat option didn't work
Pros:

A comfortable , functional room; hot water came through quickly, very quiet

Cons:

Impossible to communicate with the 'Hotel'; access instructions sent out late via e mail, I booked an additional night and wanted confirmation that I could keep the same room. I could not contact anyone from late Friday afternoon until Monday morning. I have no idea what I would have done if I had been locked out of my room or had another emergency. I asked for extra tea bags and toilet paper - my requests were ignored.
