Citystay Hotel

Rough area. Son was nearly robbed on the way into the hotel. Room was up 5 flights of stairs and many walkways. Room was dirty. Bedside table had no drawers. Wardrobe was full of junk. Bathroom was not clean. Wouldn't have a shower in that. We're initially booked for a three night stay but left after one night.

Liked: Location and price.
Disliked: Everything else.

I am very happy I decided to stay at Hotel Citystay.

Liked: The location is within walking distance for the ABBA Arena.
Disliked: Nothing.

Good

Not hygnic at all. Mold...

Liked: The beds were okay.
Disliked: The mold in the bathroom, was a health violation. Also the amount of spiders. Hygiene is not your best quality. I also found a screw in my bed. Just underneath the bedsheets. It also smelled either like chloride and bleach or like mold.

Very good

Liked: Location
Disliked: Really poor mattress quality

Poor

Extreme budget facility for average...

Liked: Literally right next to Bow Church Rd train station with a cafe/restaurant next door. These are the only positives about this place.
Disliked: 1. The sink blocked up after 1 night...then when unblocked, took ages to drain. The staff were aware of this slow drain issue.2. No ventilation in the building at all (this is a nationwide problem) so avoid in the peak of summer. We are aussies and used to summer heat however we had to keep our fan going the whole time as we were on the top floor and all the heat rose up. 3. There are no lifts....be prepared to lug your bags up multiple flights of stairs. Thankfully a staff member helped us but we mostly did it ourselves.4. There are no fridge or kitchenette facilities and you will have to source your own water.5. There aren't many PowerPoints so had to share one between the two of us as the one near my bed had the wires poking out.

No hot water for my...

Liked: The bed sheets were clean and there were fresh towels. I think the cleaner was doing their best. The location for my work was good. There was a nice place to eat good food next door if you're working.
Disliked: Obviously as a budget hotel I wasn't expecting much so I won't go on about how shabby it was. But there was no hot water for the entirety of my stay. I asked another guest who had been staying there a while and he said that he hadn't had any hot water for 3 days the week before. Also, there were 3 wifi hubs to choose from, I tried all 3 and none of them worked.
