This will be a long review, with more cons than pros—so buckle up.
Pros:
• Entry to the building was seamless. We arrived late at night, and there was no one at the entrance, but we handled it over the phone. The gentleman we spoke to was nice and helpful, assuring us we could contact him anytime—so thank you!
• The room was clean, which was a relief. Hygiene-wise, nothing really bothered me except for one thing. The bathroom was stocked with plenty of toilet paper and towels.
• A kettle with tea and coffee packs was provided, along with two complimentary water bottles—a nice touch.
Cons:
• The room looked much bigger in the pictures, so it was a bit disappointing when we walked in. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t the same one shown in the booking photos.
• The building is old, which I expected—but not to this extent. The stairs are narrow and wooden, making a lot of noise when climbing.
• The walls are incredibly thin. You can hear everything happening on the street as if it’s inside the room, which made falling asleep difficult.
• I had read comments about the bathroom, so I was prepared, but instead of a solid wall, it’s separated by frosted glass. This could be uncomfortable for some, though it was fine for me.
• There was an extra blanket in the room, which we grabbed in the middle of the night—only to realize in the morning that it was stained and looked dirty.
• The room was cold despite the heating being on. The AC didn’t seem to work when set to warm, though I’m not sure if it was an issue on our end.
• We booked it through a hotel booking site, but it didn’t really feel like a hotel. I don’t mind that, but I was expecting an actual hotel experience.
