Hello,
Positives:
o CitiLodge is close to very Queen's University, Botanic Avenue, the cinema, fast food etc.
o It is cheap, typically 30 pounds for a single room with shared bathroom.
o The breakfast is good for the price.
o I have never had a problem with the manager or staff.
Negatives:
o It is dirty. Last time I stayed for a week and neither my sheets or towel were changed.
o Normally there is some problem with the keys etc.
o I don't feel that secure there (the front door almost always left open) although have never had anything stolen to be fair and I must have used CitiLodge (as it is now called) maybe on 4 separate occasions.
o For example last time the TV was semi-burned out in the middle and my room overlooked scaffolding. At least it was on the back side of the building so there was little noise from the Thursday-Saturday night drunks.
Overall I would use CitiLodge again (if I am on my own, not with my wife due to the cleanliness aspect that she would not tolerate) just because of the location and the fact that it is cheap. But the Ritz it is not...
Peace,
Jonathan
