Where to start? The property looks awful, but we were kind of expecting
that because of cheap price, and we were more than aware of the fact
that it will not be a great place, but it still managed to surprise us.
It was extremely dirty, everywhere. The sheets were not washed or even
changed after the previous guests, with hairs and dirt on it. A lot of
black hairs. It is a small flat that they decide to rent so the room was
small for 4 people but I personaly don't mind that. What I do mind
is the filth. Absolutely filthy shared bathrooms, and you can see the
dirt and the grease was there for ages. We showered in flip flops and
avoid to touch most of the stuff in there. Another problem is the lack
of fresh air. The 4 person room had 2 super small windows with one of
them broken and the 2nd one could open only 10 cm, and there I no other
window in the whole flat! So the bathroom, the kitchen and the hallway
was alwas stinky, smelly and stuffy. And first day there , people from
other rooms cooked a meal and the flat smelled like that meal until the
end of our trip when someone went to the bathroom and than it smelled
like that. Very enjoyable. Safety of the property is very questionable ,
and it looks kind of ''ghetto''-ish. We did not feel
safe at night and definitley not safe to leave our belongins in the
room. We took all of our stuff that had value with us every day , and
did not want to leave anything in the rooms. The only safe thing there
is the wi fi password. That thing is bulletproof. I forgot to mention
our host. He was really friendly via e-mail until we paid. As soon as
payment was visable he stoped answering my emails or when he/they
would answer just a few words like : ''ok'' (even though
I would ask specific and important question for example : how to reach
them, or is there a late night check in fee and so on). It really made
us doubt if we should even go there.

finding the hotel was the initial struggle the door has no signs to say it was a the rooms we were looking for and looked more like a garage, the man then didnt get there till 1 oclock after saying he would be there earlier to give us the key so we could go to our festival, when we got back after the festival we found baby cockroaches covering one of the beds and a large one under the other. next morning we wanted a shower, the shower was unable to be cooled down and therefore was left at a scolding temperature. again we came home late at night to find 2 more cockroaches running around the room, and again could not shower due to the rediculous temperature. Very very disappointed and upset as it made the weekend hard to enjoy with such a run down room. the bathroom, kitchen and bedroom were all dirty and unacceptable.

It's a great location..have a market and cafe or restaurant around with this area location..underground need 15 min to walk on there..the room so far was ok but the bed was not too clean and the bathroom water heater was not good for using..the most I think so bad is the address location really was so difficult to find it..no more indicator..will choose the other area for next time

Hotel qui n'etait pas celui que j'avais reservé. chambre sale, bruyante, meubles cassés pas de volets ni de rideaux, chantier de construction grues et mateaux piqueurs à partir de 7h30 !! et station de bus sous nos fenêtres (bruit toute la nuit) pas de connection internet (wifi en panne toute la semaine dont personne ne se soucie malgré mes appels répétés). Une fois la chambre payée c'est à dire avant la prise des clefs , plus personne ne repond au telephone et plus personne ne se soucie de vous pas de reçu de paiement UNE ESCROQUERIE !!!
INADMISSIBLE

I booked this accomodation on a Friday afternoon online. Requested an early check-in for myself and my 3 friends. On the Saturday we arrived 15 minutes before the regular check-in time of 2pm, there was nobody there to allow us entry. I rang the contact number and was told that someone would be there within half an hour. I was not impressed as myself and my friends were stranded in an alley with all of our luggage. Half an hour later I called the contact number again and was told that the person who was supposed to let us in was out buying linen for our beds. I was extremely unimpressed by this stage as we were still waiting in an alley. 20 minutes later I received a call telling me that there was only 3 beds available, so the four of us would have to find somewhere else to stay.

I wish I was making this up.

Nous sommes restés 2 heures à attendre dehors ! (pas la bonne adresse, difficile de joindre notre hôte...)
Chambre agréable mais mauvaises literies.
Propreté déplorable dans les lieux communs (cuisine)
