Location is great, and that's about all there's positive about it.
The hotel is gloomy, outdated, and doesn’t feel clean. The room is extremely small, the air conditioning barely works, and there are no instructions on how to use it. It was very hot inside, and the window wouldn’t open at all.
The bathroom looks incredibly old—like something out of an elderly relative’s house. There’s nowhere to even place a toothbrush on the sink. The toiletries and towels are very cheap; I honestly hadn’t seen toiletries of this quality in years. The carpet, both in the room and throughout the hotel, is worn down and looks like it hasn’t been properly cleaned in ages. The same goes for the curtains, which seem like they haven’t been washed in years. The lights were so unreliable—some working, others not—that we half expected it to be the ghosts of past guests playing tricks.
The reception staff seemed disengaged: no smile, no greeting, barely any acknowledgment of our presence (the cleaning lady, however, was kind). When I asked whether breakfast was included, the man at reception simply said, “No breakfast. There are coffee shops on the street.” After seeing the room, I was honestly relieved not to have breakfast there.
But none of this compares to the beds. The mattresses were so uneven and worn out that you would roll into dips and almost get stuck. They genuinely felt decades old—lumpy to the point of feeling like they were filled with hay. I have never slept on mattresses in such poor condition.
It almost became a joke—but paying nearly €1,000 for a double and a triple room for two nights and ending up in a hotel like this certainly wasn’t.
