Fantastic
A great overnight stop. We had a basic double with breakfast and it was perfect for our needs. The room and bathroom were small but spotless and breakfast was plentiful. One tip if using public transport from the station, use 132 or 133 buses as they are more frequent and stop closest to hotel.

We should have taken the advice of other reviewers and cancelled our stay in this hotel. We were not given the family suite, but 2 twin rooms and one had bed bugs crawling on the beds and walls when we returned from dinner. The replacement room also had some infestation so we moved to another hotel. The receptionist said to email the manager for a refund, but manager is denying the problem. This was a horrible start to our holiday.

We had a great stay and really enjoyed the variety on the breakfast spread each morning. Our room was quite spacious although the bathroom was tricky to access due to a broken door. The listing said air conditioning which we were hoping for as we arrived at the beginning of the heat wave but our room did not have AC, we were grateful for the 2 fans provided. The tv service was down and so we were unable to watch the World Cup but were told it was an issue with the service provider during our stay. Overall we had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend this hotel to others. The location was great and we enjoyed our time

I recently stayed at the Ahl Marketzeen Hotel, and it is truly a mixed bag. ​The Best Part: The location is unbeatable. It is right in the heart of the city, making it incredibly easy to walk to most major attractions and local shops. If being central is your top priority, this is a solid choice. ​The Downside: The building itself is quite old and feels outdated. You can tell it hasn't been renovated in a while—the decor is a bit tired, and the facilities are showing significant signs of wear and tear. ​Summary: If you just need a place to crash in a central spot and don't mind a vintage (or slightly worn) atmosphere, it’s fine. However, if you are looking for modern comforts, you might want to look elsewhere.

We were chased out of the room! While the front of house staff were kind and helpful, the room was a big disappointment. We were given a room lacking adequate facilities; no kettle, fridge or cups/glasses. The room had stains on the wall near the headboard and behind the nightstand, stained carpets, bedding which had hairs, and a very small and tight bathroom with poor drainage. There were only two plug sockets, one of which was hidden: one by the door which we found useless as anything we plugged in became a tripping hazard when entering the room & the other used for the none functioning TV. There was no view and looked out onto another roof and wall. As there was no fridge, we resorted to storing our food outside on the windowsill to keep it from perishing. On the morning of our check out, we were corralled out unceremoniously by the cleaning staff who entered with little warning. Although our booking indicated the checkout time as 11am, they insisted it was incorrect and wouldn't grant us any longer than 10 minutes to leave the room.

I do not recommend staying here! The property is surrounded by inappropriate stores, not safe for children’s eyes. The room was absolutely disgusting! There was hair all over the bed, towels and shower! It looked as if someone was sleeping in the bed and did not change the sheets. The carpet was so gross and stained. The walls are so dirty and have black marks all over it. Also there was no shower curtain!! The breakfast was ok. Overall, I would not stay here again and I would recommend you shouldn’t either.

Room was basic and tv didn’t work (but they told us). Toilet/shower room was a tight manoeuvre. Actual location was decent been only a few minutes walk to the old town. Breakfast was good with plenty of options.
