Parliament Square

This felt more like an apartment building than a hotel. The room and hotel were clean, and I slept on the most comfortable bed I've had on this trip. Downtown is a decent location, though it's about a 35 minute walk to the old town. There aren't many restaurant choices nearby, and the room didn't have much of a view.

Check-in and entry to the building both use codes sent by SMS. It's clean and cozy, in a good spot in the city, though the room looks out at other buildings and has no view. If you're mainly looking for somewhere to sleep and shower rather than spend the day in your room, it's a good option.

I booked three nights, but after just 10 minutes in the room I left and found another hotel. I didn't mind losing the money. There was no staff, only keypad access, and the rooms are small. The location didn't feel safe to me. If you're used to a Marriot-style hotel, avoid it. If a hostel-like feel suits you, it might be OK.

I spent seven days here, and reception was never staffed. When I arrived, I waited outside for over 15 minutes because nobody was at the desk. A cleaning lady happened to be there, opened the gate for me, and called the administration to get my room code. Room number 3 was the worst part. The bathroom was dirty, and caterpillars were coming out of the wall. I called the administration and was able to switch rooms. The new room was a little better, but it still had cockroaches. This was not clean at all, despite what many people said.
