Reviews
Facilities: The only minor downside is that it's street-facing, so the soundproofing isn't great, and some facilities are a bit old. However, the value for money is still quite high.
Hygiene: It was cleaned daily and kept very tidy.
Service: Absolutely fantastic!
Environment: It's located close to the main attractions, so it was perfect for taking a break in between sightseeing before heading to the next spot.
The room was tiny and extremely uncomfortable, with a bed and mattress so bad that I couldn’t sleep properly throughout my entire trip.
The toilet was shockingly dirty — honestly unacceptable for any hotel.
Cleanliness felt like -10 on a scale of 1 to 10. I even saw used coffee cups being washed in the bathroom sink and then left there for guests to use again. This is both unhygienic and disgusting.
Breakfast was terrible — below basic standards — nothing fresh or appetizing. Every day I felt like staying out as long as possible just to avoid coming back to the room.
Yes, the reception staff were polite and smiling, but that alone can’t save such a disappointing experience.
Overall: Great location, but everything else was awful — uncomfortable and dirty. I would not recommend staying here.
