I stayed at Hotel Whitcomb on Market St for one night in January 2012. The location wasn't too bad, though with a front facing room, the trams and homeless people outside did cause a lot of noise through the night/early morning (on 4th floor), something double glazing/better windows could sort easily.
The room was quite basic but functional with an old CRT TV screen and dated/worn furniture + stained shower floor and some damaged bathroom tiles. But nothing dangerous (except electrical points) or particularly unclean, it just took the shine off the experience.
The hotel itself has some stunning hallways and the foyer is lovely. Starbucks at the entrance and a reasonable, if not great, restaurant (I only stayed for breakfast). Staff were friendly and helpful.
Whilst Wifi was advertised, I failed to get it working due to such slow speed.
