Negative Reviews
negative:
Non-private bathroom
A few guests of Orange Drive Manor have mentioned that even the rooms that have a private bathroom don't really offer much privacy. This is because the bathroom doesn't have a real door, but is more like a stall that you would find in a public bathroom.
negative:
Can be noisy
This hotel is located in an old house and, therefore, noise travels quite a bit. Some guests complained about their rooms being loud at night because of people walking in the hallways or on the floors above. This led to some restless nights for some guests of the property.
negative:
Weak Wi-Fi
Some guest have complained about the quality of the Wi-Fi signal, as it would frequently cut out and there have been cases where guests couldn't get a singal from anywhere at the hostel. This was concerning for guests who wanted to communicate with friends and family back home.
