2. No real negatives, and no real positives.

3. The only negative is that the free breakfast is pretty poor, but for the difference in price one can get a really good breakfast at a nice place that's a five-minute walk away, and have a lot of that price difference left over.

4. The only thing negative is that the air conditioning units have not been replaced - but they still work just fine.

5. Despite some of the negative reviews of this hotel, I have to say my stay there with my boyfriend was great.

6. Our visit started badly with the astounding rudeness of the lady at reception (a frequent complaint by other reviewers) - no greeting or eye contact or any basic customer service skills - so I was quite negative from the beginning.

7. The only negative we could say are the lack of a computer for guests to use and that perhaps the reception staff could have been a little more enthused, though they were certainly efficient but you just didn't get that warm feeling that you get after having engaged in conversation with someone.
