DK Eyewitness
"A hotel for the truly budget-conscious, the Lotus dates from 1950, as is still reflected by the mattresses."

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
