They claim to be a 4-star hotel. They are not. Their website boasts “a relaxing boutique hotel” — adorable, if you find sleepless nights relaxing. The “tea and coffeemakers” are a plastic kettle and instant coffee. “Room service available” means a vending machine in the foyer. Breakfast? None. Just a friendly suggestion to “try a local café.”
The “on-site restaurant” is a nightclub with deafening music, sticky floors, and patrons who think balance is optional. The lobby is tiny, gloomy, and guarded by nightclub security who look puzzled that you’re holding luggage, not a cocktail.
Yes, the fine print mentions a nightclub — but not that it thumps beneath your bed until 5 a.m. The complimentary earplugs are more of an admission of guilt than a comfort. Return from dinner after 9 p.m.? You’ll be rerouted through the smelly carpark, weaving between drunk revellers and the occasional fight in the alley.
After zero sleep, housekeeping twice burst in before 10:30 a.m., despite our confirmed noon checkout. No “Do Not Disturb” sign, naturally. The promised manager call never came.
In short: this is not a 4-star hotel. It’s barely a 3-star — a Budget Rave and Sleep Deprivation Centre disguised as a “boutique experience.” Perfect if you enjoy instant coffee, no sleep, and being serenaded by subwoofers until dawn.
