Arrivo in struttura e per mia sorpresa mi viene assegnata una stanza di categoria piu' bassa rispetto a quella prenotata (camera standard al posto della junior suite). La camera era sporca, mal ridotta e piena di peli e capelli ovunque. Muovo le mie rimostranze all'operatore (tutto via chat in quanto non esiste un presidio fisico nella struttura) e mi viene risposto che il disguido è dovuto ad un probelma di sincronizzazione di Expedia con i loro sistemi. Dato che non è un mio problema, richiedo di avere la stanza per cui ho pagato ma mi viene risposto che la struttura è piena. Male. Chiedo un rimborso e mi dicono che verificheranno. Infastidito, vado a fami una doccia ma non c'è acqua calda, ricontatto l'operatore, parlo con gli inservienti ma a quanto pare la caldaia si è rotta. L'acqua calda arriverà solo nel pomeriggio del secondo giorno. Come alternativa mi viene proposto di andare a lavarmi in una palestra li vicino. Rifiuto e mi offrono un buono di 5 euro da consumare in un bar. Imbarazzante. Ad oggi non mi hanno ancora ne erogato un rimborso ne alcuna compensazione per tutti i disagi che mi hanno provocato.

No windows in this property. Youre basically in a basement utility room with no windows, a moldy shower and a couch with a rip in it

You couldn’t pay me to stay here again!

The room was dirty and had no windows. When I queried this, the host opened an electronic shutter in the ceiling, revealing a dirty skylight, from which dozens of spiders (alive and dead) then fell onto the bed - so I had to keep that closed for the duration of the stay. There was also a funny smell which was apparently a spray to “sanitise” the room, but I think the real reason for it was to cover up the mould smell coming from the mini fridge and from the bathroom. There is also no manned reception desk (something I missed from the small print) so check in was quite stressful having to make arrangements to meet the host. It is certainly very well located, but overall not worth the price and I will not be staying here again.

Worst hotel experience ever!

There is no staff on site to help you if you need it. All doors open from a webpage on your phone. If your phone dies, or your data package runs out and you can’t access that page, you’re not getting in. The management only responds to texts on WhatsApp from 9AM to 10PM, and in my experience they didn’t even respond to those. There’s an intercom at the front door, but they won’t answer it. They have only responded to me to argue against giving me a refund after my horrible experience. In addition, they were using my room to store building materials.

To be honest, the room was fine, the staff once we met them were very friendly. The checkin was VERY difficult I have to say. No guidance on how to enter the property (no reception), I wrote messages on Expedia before that were left unanswered, then wrote to the provided whatsapp number which was left unread and then i called 30mins before checkin. Once this was settled the room was fine. I loved the location and the staff was friendly when i met them.

Great location . We had a little problem with our first room and we moved room. Second room was huge but didn’t have a window. We were only there a few nights so we were ok with this. Really appreciated having a late checkout. I would stay again.

Very clean, modern room with excellent housekeeping. Can be a bit noisy at night, thanks to nearby bar. Only natural light is from skylight, so wouldn’t recommend it for longer stay unless you don’t mind not having window. We were fine for two nights, and neighborhood is convenient. Host’s communication wasn’t great — they sent entry directions to WhatsApp, not Expedia, without warning and no one showed up to let us in at front. (Another tenant let us in eventually.) They told us they’d send link to pay local tax, but never did, despite reminder. Someone finally collected it as we were leaving. Oh, and unless you’re tall, you probably won’t be able to use hangers, which are stationed absurdly high in wardrobe.

Once I got in the room it was great. Clean, spacious and comfortable. I was supposed to receive a code before I checked in but it was given to me at the last minute so a bit stressful. Place is unmanned so code very important. It was expensive but it was a last minute booking

Construction and renovations were cosmetic. The room was clean but the toilet came away from the wall, the sink looked like it might fall on our feet, and the ceiling in our friends’ room started leaking. The location of the property is amazing, but there is a lot of dog poo in the area. The bed was slumped in the middle which made for uncomfortable sleeping. Check-in and check-out were quick and easy. The shower was great. The A/C was just a fan, and there were no real windows in the unit to allow for fresh air circulation, which I found stifling.

This locaction is ok. It's a long walk from the train station but doable. Also close to shopping areas. The rooms itself looks good but it had some issues. There was mold all behind the curtain. The AC also didnt work. We had to open the window to get some fresh air and we where lucky it was a little cooler at night.
