Basic accommodation for the not too fussy

The walls are very thin and unfortunately had new guests staying next door daily, who always felt the need to carry on with loud conversations, laughter, late at night. Television did not work in my room. Clean hotel though, spotless white sheets and towels, comfortable beds, great location. The building is in a courtyard, which makes a little bit of distance from the hustle and bustle of the main road. I would recommend for budget stay in the city, only for sleeping. (If fellow guests let it)

I would not recommend this hotel. I found a large cockroach in my bathroom, which has never happened to me before as a frequent traveller. The location is decent but a bit far from the main attractions, requiring a 30-minute walk to the Basilica. It was also quite noisy; you could hear conversations from other rooms, as well as the bathroom fan and shower. The towel situation was disappointing; I received only a small towel, and it was never changed during my stay. While my room was generally clean, it wasn’t cleaned daily by the staff. I had paid for breakfast, but to my surprise, there was nowhere to eat it in the hotel. The receptionist told me to bring it to my room, but there was no space to eat there either, so I ended up having to buy breakfast outside. Overall, it was not a great experience, and I wouldn't recommend this hotel.

Good position. All in all a decent option. But I wonder how they got the 3 stars. They don't clean the room every day. The shower was slightly mouldy. The wifi unreliable. But honestly for me the only major defect was the noise, which was not coming from the street (the hotel is in an internal courtyard) but from people under my window who decided that 6am is a good time for a loud conversation, amplified by the boomy acoustics of the courtyard.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Siamo stati io e il mio ragazzo per 3 giorni in questa struttura. L'ho reputata accettabile Consiglio: se fate mettere l'opzione "colazione inclusa" la colazione deve essere inclusa: se prendo il caffè alla macchinetta non è giusto che io lo paghi, inoltre non considero accettabile la disposizione del tavolo a buffet senza uno spazio per sedersi ma è tutto attaccato al tavolo della reception. La camera aveva degli spazi minimi e pensavo passasse almeno una volta la signora delle pulizie.

Ideaal gelegen, dichtbij alle bezienswaardigheden. Geen douchegel aanwezig, moesten ons met handzeep wassen. Werd de tweede dag aangesproken dat ik moest bijbetalen voor het ontbijt omdat we niet op de lijst stonden. Kregen geen excuses en werden vies aangekeken toen ik onze reservatie liet zien, waarin dit duidelijk vermeld stond. Ontbijt was niet vers (Lidl-producten), moet je ook meenemen naar de kamer. Het toilet bleef doorlopen en hoorden raar geluid in de buizen. Kamers werden ook niet elke dag proper gemaakt, of handdoeken ververst. Maar al bij al toch een goed verblijf gehad.

Problema. Pagué por expedia y luego me cobraron otra vez allí en recepcion diciendo que el pago no se habia hecho. Por la mañana avise al chico de recepcion de que tenia los dos cargos en mi tarjeta. Lo verificó y dijo que me mandarian email. No he recibido ni el reembolso ni el email, ni es facil encontrar email del hotel, ni expedia me permite reclamarlo. Mal.

VANVITTIG BESKIDT OG UHYGIEJNISK

Størrelsen af værelset var fin. Vi har ikke brug for noget ekstraordinært, så 3 stjernet hotel er almindeligvis fint. Hvis blot det er rent. Og det var det ikke på Esprit, værelset var MØGBESKIDT og direkte ULÆKKERT, med et toilet så beskidt udvendigt med flere afskygninger af HÅR, der sad klistret FAST, i hvad jeg formoder er URIN, snask der er løbet ned af væggene, skidt, hår og støv på gulvet. Beskidte stikkontakter, døre der tydeligvis ikke har set en våd klud meget meget længe. Ødelagte gardiner. Og sidst men ikke mindst STANKEN AF AFLØB OG RÅDDENT Vand. Hov ja så er der jo også overraskelsen når man kigger under sengen. Det var så ULÆKKERT. DET ER HELT UHØRT AT RENGØRINGEN IKKE KAN SE DET OG AT DER IKKE ER SAT EN STANDARD FOR HYGIEJNEN.
