Very, very loud and clearly...

Liked: It was located right close to my conference, which was handy, but for a fraction of the cost. Front desk staff (at the other hotel) were reasonably responsive and helpful. It was the only place within my budget (that wasn’t a hostel), so here we are.
Disliked: It is so, so loud. Both with noise from the street, and the walls are so thin, so you can hear *everything* (and I mean everything) in the hallway and adjacent rooms (like you can hear people if they breathe loudly). Bring your best earplugs. There’s no housekeeping and they won’t give you enough of anything to last more than a couple days so you’ll have to ask. Check in is at a hotel a block away, there’s no reception for the Herbert. Probably because it’s so cheap there are people hanging around the entrance who will ask you to let them in.

Herbert

Liked: The location was great- right next to public transport. The staff were so helpful and kind

I wouldn’t go back

Liked: Location was good
Disliked: No check-in at the hotel, no staff on site. There’s no cleaning unless you pay an extra fee. Towels and sheets not exchanged. Light switch broken. Rusted bathtub and sink.

Disappointing
