This place is awful, more like a hostel than a hotel. Ok, it is clean, cheap and central but it is cheap for a reason. On arrival, you go up to the first floor to reception which is staffed by an unsmiling guy who could barely speak English. We got to our room on the 4th floor and were convinced the window was open as all we could hear was the noise of the traffic outside. Unfortunately for us, the window was closed it was just very ineffective which led to a very bad night's sleep. As if the noise wasn't bad enough, the room was TINY - just enough room for the double bed and sink. The bathrooms were clean but the reality of sharing bathrooms really makes you appreciate having an ensuite.
We checked out the next day and found a much better hotel called the Pickwick Arms. It is currently being renovated so make sure you get one of the newer rooms which are at the top. We stayed in the 12th floor in a modern room with all facilities and a balcony for only a bit more than the Americana.
