"A hotel for the truly budget-conscious, the Lotus dates from 1950, as is still reflected by the mattresses."
Rough Guide
"Its claim to have “an authentic Art Deco ambience” is a slight exaggeration, though one or two of the fittings do seem to date from the 1930s, and the rooms are suitably sombre."
Lonely Planet
"A 1950s concrete monolith with some surprising art deco flourishes strewn about. Rooms are a bit on the dingy side, and have certainly seen brighter decades." Full review
