Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
mould all over the shower curtains in the bathroom. I didn’t want to shower because i didn’t want to breathe in the spores. No door on the bathroom, Just a curtain that was see through. The room could have been cleaner. The traffic outside was extremely noisy and it wasn’t really near any restaurants. It’s passable if you’re desperate but otherwise i’d book somewhere else.

Had a brief stay just for one night and was very convenient. Really liked the contactless check-in (and out) as it allowed me to be flexible with my arrival time. Room was generously sized and clean and neat on arrival with good facilities/amenities. Only complaint was a dirty shared bathroom in the morning but that’s more a reflection on other guests as opposed to the establishment! Thanks for a convenient budget stay for the night, will recommend/use again

Le docce e i servizi igienici sono al freddo (10 gradi) poiché i vetri delle finestre e le finestre sono rotti. Nei gabinetti piuttosto che ripristinare l'intonaco cadente decennale si è preferito rattoppare, malamente, con cartone. Nei bagni regna indisturbata una colonia di ragni e ragnatele scarafaggi. Ho soggiornato con i miei figli dal 15 al 23 giugno 2022, al primo giorno ho scritto il reclamo alla direzione, che se ne è ben guardata dal ripristinare i vetri e pulire dai ragni, la miglior soluzione proposta è stata di mandarci via dalla struttura rimborsando i giorni rimanenti. Ho speso poco ma quel soggiorno non solo non vale quel poco ma dal mio punto di vista quella struttura è inagibile.
