Amazing staff. However, the only challenge was at the place to check in was a bit of a walk from the actual location and you have to pay a fee if you’re not within the timeframe that they want for a check-in.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
It's not a hotel, just a room in some dude's apartment. It's not at the address listed, it looks nothing like the room you book, check in is via a shady office at the back of a car park at a different location, there's mold everywhere, the bed's broken, the electrics in the walls make a loud buzzing noise and after you check in they ask you to do maintenance on the property for them because it's in such bad condition even they're not sure if you have running water or working lights.

We were surprised that we had to walk to other street to register and get the keys and walk back to the same place to enter our room. All our luggage we had to carry out with us back and forth. Not convenient at all...

MOHAMMAD

Liked: Cleanliness
The hotel overall was clean and had a unique vibe — staying in an old building with a giant gate at the entrance gave me a nice feeling, almost like stepping back in time. However, there were some important downsides. We noticed quite a few cockroaches in the common areas, which was uncomfortable. Another key detail for future guests: the check-in process has strict rules. They charge 30€ for arrivals after 6 PM, and the office doesn’t open until 10 AM. Unfortunately, this meant we couldn’t leave our luggage early in the morning and ended up missing a museum reservation because we had to wait until the office opened. A staff member did show up earlier, but still told us we had to wait until 10. Additionally, storing luggage costs 5€ per bag, which is unusual compared to most hotels. In summary: the place is clean and atmospheric, but the extra charges, late office hours, and presence of cockroaches are important things to be aware of before booking.

Room was dirty, bed sheets hadn’t been cleaned upon arrival. They cleaned them the next day and said they would refund us for the night but then only gave us €50 back. After a long conversation gave us another €50, but that still wasn’t enough to cover the night. The mattress had a huge crater and was extremely uncomfortable. Shower had mold. WiFi didn’t work.
