Extempore miniloma

Kaikki toimi hyvin ja paikat pääosin siistissä kunnossa. Huoneessa ei toinen yövaloista toiminut ja kummankin mekanismi oli rikki, eli ei voinnut suunnata lamppua miten ois halunnut vaan lamppu "roikkui" jalassa. Hostelli oli ihanan rauhallinen, mutta ikkunan takana kirkui lokit koko yön ja unet jäi huonoksi, mikä ei toki ole hostellin väen syytä. Onneksi huoneessa oli tarjolla korvatulpat, mikä vähän helpotti tilannetta. Huoneesta ei löytynyt tietoa saunavuoroista, mikä olisi kiva lisä ko. kohteessa.

Hostelli painajainen

Saavuttuamme hostelliin, ulko- oven sähkölukko putosi irti ovesta ja alkoi huutaa. Huoneeseen päästyämme, sängyllä oli kuollut koiperhonen ja juoksenteli koppakuoriaisia. Jaettua suihku tilaa ei pysty lukitsemaan. Vaihdoimme majoitusta samana iltana green city hotelliin joka oli hyvä! Odottelemme edelleen hyvitystä forenomilta.

Ainoa syy miksi valitsin Forenomin on puhtaasti hinta. Itse huone olisi kaivannut enemmän siisteyttä hostellista puhumattakaan. Sauna ei ollut lämminnyt kuten piti olla. Kuulemma vahinko. Pyydettiin itse laittamaan päälle sähkökaapista. Uskomatonta.

Hyvä kätevä edullinen majoitus. Keskustassa kävelykadulla. Siisti ja näppärä pikakäyntiin. Ainoa miinus oli että huonetta ei löytynyt kerroksesta ja saatiin patikin kertaa soittaa aspaan. Mainio ja kärsvällinen asiakaspalvelu. Vaivamaan jäi puuttuva huone jota ei löytynyt.

Good stay overall. It is a bit noisy with street noise (workers at 6:30am on Sunday) but ear plugs are provided. Basic kitchen and room had own fridge. Sauna in basement is great if the schedule works for you. Self check-in was smooth with a unique door code that works for all doors. Great location not far from train station and on main shopping street with many food options and a grocery close by.

Huone oli aika mielenkiintoinen. Sänky oli ok mutta jalkatilaa hyvin vähän. Netissä oleva kuva huoneesta feikkaa mittasuhteet. Huoneessa oli tosi kuuma yöllä! Vessat tosi siistejä Suihkut siistejä.

Hiukan puutteita

Roskikset olivat pieniä (tilavuus 5 litraa) niin huoneissa kuin vessoissa. Ehkäpä siitä syystä paperia ja roskia joutuu lattialle. Pyyhetelineet vessoissa oli rikki. Korjasin itse sängynportaikon liitoksen. Onneksi huomasin ettei liitos ollut kohdillaan eikä sattunut vahinkoa portaikon huojuessa vaarallisesti. Kylpyläkuvissa näkyy kuva kahdesta vesi-/kylpyaltaasta. Sauna löytyi, mutta kylpyaltaita ei. Ehkä ne oli lukitun oven takana. Pettymys, sillä odotin pääsyä kuvailtuun spahan.

Herätys klo 6

Karmea poraus huoneessa aamu 6 alkaen. Sireeni huutaa ja koneet jauhaa korvan vieressä, jos kyseessä ikkunahuone kadulle. Mahdoton nukkua. Toistunut usean majoituskerran tässä paikassa. Muut huoneet paremmat.

It would be good that the information would be easier to find in the homepage. For example about sauna times, there was no info about the in the homepage. The homepage information and the information at the spot was not the same. At the homepage, it said that it is okey that friends and family visit, at the hostel it said that it is forbidden that any people outside the booking use the facilities. It felt a bit confusing. In hotels.com it said that the room does not have sheets, but in their own homepage it stood that there are. And there were sheets. Very clean and fresh ones. Place was clean, but the mattress had some spots, also the wall. Could be even better cleaned I think.

Hotellista pari sanaa

Huoneen jääkaappi "piilotettu" rumaan ja isoon vanerikaapin sisälle, kaappi vei turhaa tilaa ja vaikeutti jääkaapin löytämistä. Miksi kaikki pistokkeet sijoitettu lattian rajaan, eikö olisi voinut laittaa vaikka yhden pöytätason korkeuteen. Olisin myös kaivannut toista tyynyä. No yhden yön majoitukseen ok. Saunominen perjantaina naisille loppui jo klo 19 kun se ma-to mahdollista 22 asti. Miksi näin?

Hei, Huoneeni näytti siistiltä mutta nukutun yön jälkeen sain allergisia reaktioita jalkoihini? Saunaan en päässyt miesten saunavuoron ajankohtana. Saunan ovi oli lukittuna pesuhuoneen puolelta!
