Fix TV in rooms each all. Dirty the food to their wash in kitchen

The price was a joke, but I paid a little extra for a decent room and it turned out to be a good deal. The cleaning staff were awful – a few people I spoke to shared that view, they never said hello and seemed annoyed. The front desk staff were friendly, though. The other guests were filthy, and the bathroom was a disaster; I avoided it entirely. The street was noisy, but that’s not the hotel’s fault. The place was dirty overall, especially around my bed; I asked the receptionist in the morning to fix it and he promised it would be sorted. When I returned at night it was still the same, which was disappointing. Bottom line: don’t stay here if you want to feel like you’re paying a lot for a cheap experience.

The balcony was nice and the sheets were freshly laundered. The room felt cramped, the bathroom was far away, the beds creaked, and the floors were noisy.

The showers were hot, the balcony was a plus, and the price was reasonable. The mattresses were wrapped in plastic and squeaked whenever I turned, and there was only one outlet for six people.

The location was good and everything was nearby. Our room was on an upper floor and you had to climb many steps to reach it. The kitchen was downstairs, so you had to think twice before making something to eat.
