Unfortunately, this is the first time I’ve ever had to leave a negative review. It was a last-minute booking, and in the rush, I didn’t realize that the bathroom was shared. That was my mistake, as I usually prefer a private bathroom. However, the shared bathroom was very dirty and had a terrible smell—almost like a public toilet. It was also located near my room, and people often left the light on, which reflected into my room because the doors were made of glass. In short, it was a disaster. I was also shocked to find there were no wall sockets in the room. There were three lamps, but none of them were connected to plugs on the wall. Instead, I found a power distribution box on the floor (you can see it in the attached photo). I managed to get one lamp working and used it to charge my phone. In the evening, there was a lot of noise both from the street and from other rooms—there’s no soundproofing at all. I don’t know why, but someone on the third floor seemed to be working with loud tools or machinery. On my first night, I couldn’t sleep at all, and on the second (and thankfully last) night, I woke up at least ten times because of the noise. Sorry to say this, but that’s the truth. Never again.

It is a hostel with shared washroom but charge you like a hotel don't get into the trap they asked me 10 euro to use the remote for the fan lol. Washroom is always busy and messy better pay a bit more and get a proper hotel.

Tiny room (which I was aware of, it is specified in the description) but it is NOTHING like the photos they show. Also, if you get as "lucky" as I did, your room might just be one of the ones in the kitchen. Yes, my room door opened into the kitchen and I had to hear everything happening in the kitchen at all times of the day/night through paper-thin walls. They don't have A/C (which I also knew about, that's not the complaint), but they have ceiling fans that can only be turned on with a remote control—which they do not give you; you have to leave a 10€ deposit IN CASH ONLY to get the remote control. Zero empathy about not having cash, they gave me attitude about it. Shared bathrooms (which I also knew about) but for the three days I was there, nobody cleaned them. The same dirty floor towel that some guest left there by the shower door, was there all three days... crumpled in the exact same way. Not to mention that because of the lack of daily cleaning, and the hotel being at max capacity (I know because I tried to switch rooms out of the kitchen), the bathrooms smelled like bad gas station bathrooms. In regard to the area, excellent location. Plenty of shops and restaurants, walking-distance to clubs and bars, and great access to all kinds of public transportation. Maybe if it had been cheaper, I would not be so harsh with my review. But when you consider that you can get a way better room for much less—in the same area, I don't want to sugarcoat the experience.

Rooms are worn down, there’s no room service either. Bathrooms were also worn down but mostly clean, often without soap. With only 3 bathrooms per floor you have to time your showers. Facing the noisy street and non-automatic lights in the hallway did affect the quality of rest. Staff was friendly

The location was great, but the upkeep of the place seems unimportant. There were broken tiles and flooring coming up in the bathrooms, the window was very drafty with the wind. I didn’t love that my bedroom door was IN the kitchen and the kitchen had a mishmash of dishes and silverware with random parts of things. Also it was a bit cold at night with only a sheet.

This is a budget hotel nothing more nothing less. A few issues where the fan in the room didnot work, the front desk at 4pm had one person working and 8/9 guest trying to check in, It was a nightmare trying to book into a prepaid room.
