    Classic Breakfast ends too early

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Bathroom could use some upgrade. The bath was clean but badly stained (and way too high to get in!)

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    The WiFi was very weak in my room so I had to go down to the lobby to use my phone.

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    Staff was extremely friendly and breakfast à la carte was very good. Next to a metro station and just few minutes walking to the center. The location feels a little bit unsafe at night.

    Helpful staff, spaceful rooms and bathrooms. The coffee machines in the rooms.

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    The location. The bed was missing the toppings. So you can feel the mattress springs stabbing, the front desk attitude is not appropriate, no late check out, and when you ask them they say 11pm while on booking it says 12pm. The hotel is very noisy, the walls are like biscuits you can hear all rooms around you, you are on the street so all cars, metro shaking, trams!! Also, they don’t offer free bottled water water

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    Location and staff are great

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    Nothing really, except one should take notice that the breakfast is in a comercial cafe that is part of the hotel, so there is a little bit of a wait and one should count on it if in hurry.

    Photo of the front looked great, hurra for photoshop, restaurant next door had a good burger, water pressure in shower was decent and the pillows comfortable. Room stunk of raw sewage and mold, the carpet is stained up, and looks like it’s original from when the hotel was built. The WiFi didn’t work, which was no surprise for the staff, when we inquired about it. We checked out after one night as it was unbearable to stay in the stink any longer, staff just shrugged their shoulders like they were used to it. Talked to other guests, who also said their rooms smelled bad. It’s surrounded by a dirty and ill maintained neighborhood, over all a shame, for this architectural gem, they clearly need the money to repair it, would have like to be able to say something more positive, but unfortunately it would be unfair to other guests not to give you a head up.
