Harrington 102 Latest Review: "Disgraceful - do not stay there!"

We have reported several times on the Harrington 102 owned by Soheil Mehrab-Khani. There is a new review on Trip Advisor dated 25-11-11 which is a doozie:

It was written by Rose from Frankston, Victoria and is reproduced in full below.

"Unfortunately I was double-booked from my original accommodation and as Cold Chisel were in town, I had no choice but to stay there unless I wanted a night on the streets.


The reception is unmanned most of the time and there is no lift. The room was tiny - the bed was pushed against one wall, with no window (just glass bricks), no window coverings, no bedside table, no bedside lamp, no telephone, no place for my case but on the limited 'empty' floor space about 1 metre in depth.


There was the tiniest container of curdled milk in the fridge which I asked to be replaced and 2 teabags. I spent as little time as possible in the room catching the late night picture show returning around 11.30pm.


I was unable to sleep as the lights were shining through the glass biricks from outside and streaming underneath the large gap in the door. The room was also noisy - I could hear the plumbing from the other rooms - toilets, showers and taps and the constant drone of an over-worked fridge as it had been crammed into a space with no ventilation. 


The room was airless - the only option being to switch on an air-conditioner and have cold air blowing over me. As I could not sleep I got up at 5.30 am and went out to take some photos around Hobart and get some air. As soon as I crossed the road and turned round to take a picture a demented woman shouted after me to not take pictures.... Had she been watching me???


I had already decided to give their "free" breakfast a miss - it looked less than appealing. I had to collect my cases and face another torrent of abuse as I was leaving - the woman is not quite right. If you have any choice in the matter - give this place a big miss, 


It shouldn't be allowed to trade. They might have 1 or 2 decent rooms but the small rooms are definitely substandard and are most probably in breach of quite a few Accommodation Standards Laws."


I love the bit about the demented woman shouting not to take photo's -- this was undoubtedly Jaklin Rahimi, Soheil Mehrab-Khani's partner and they have good reason to be 'gun shy' as far as being on the receiving end of a camera. 


My photo's were used in several court cases against Mehrab-Khani. I was assaulted my both Jaklin Rahimi and Soheil Mehrab-Khani in 2010 at the corner of Goulburn and Harrington streets, and one of the photo's from my evidence of Breach Of Restraint Order is below, it is a 360 degree panorama of the area:

An earlier review of Harrington 102 from Trip Advisor described the woman running the Hotel as an "unmedicated psychotic patient."
