Sochi journalists tweet about poor hotel conditions ahead of Winter Olympics

A number of journalists in Sochi have revealed that they have been subjected to poor hotel conditions ahead of the Winter Olympics in Russia.

The Games have come under scrutiny before the event has even begun due to a number of issues, including Russia's legislation that bans gay 'propaganda' towards children.

According to the Washington Post, it has now been claimed that only six of the nine hotels for the media are ready for guests, while some journalists have been given rooms with no heating.

Take a look at some of the tweets below:

This is the one hotel room @Sochi2014 have given us so far. Shambles. #cnnsochi pic.twitter.com/RTjEkmyan3

I have a room! No heating or internet, but it has a (single) bed at least...
