We left early because the bedding had bloodstains and hair, and the floors were sticky. No staff on site when we arrived and hadn't yet received instructions to enter. Definitely not a three star hotel.

No reception area or luggage storage area while waiting to get into room. Entrance is in a back alley where garbage sits. Inside the entrance area is dark, dingy and dirty, it's a back entrance to a building with metal stairs and poorly lit. The room was an OK size, but the bathroom was extremely tiny. Not having a reception area or luggage storage was very inconvenient when we arrived in the morning, had to stand outside in the back alley with the garbage and try and find a storage faciality to hold our luggage until we could get into the room, would not recommend this property.

The room was clean and the location was covenient. I received an email about missing deposit payment after my stay. The missing payment made the check in difficult and I had to stand on the street to figure out the problem. I was glad that I didnt arrive late at night. Also there was loud noises during the night. The door was banged loudly almost 10minutes.

Stay for 4 nights in unfinished renovation room .it is like a part of the electricity centre room. Before the departure, i received a few messages : if you don't pay the deport $100, you are not able to receive the detailed check-in. The property has no front desk and no staff for assisting you check-in.I contacted the agents of expedia, I am told that you can pay when you arrive. In the plane, the hotel kept texting me the same message. Even the property says the deposit is requested under booking the regulation and condition, the customers usually do not read and pay attention behind the front booking page. Good location, quiet area. The room has no cabinets for clothes. A new kitchen counter installed, the wall is not pleasant, the bed is very soft with poor quality. No recommendations to stay.

Great Studio. Poor communication from Hotels.com

My stay was very good. The accommodation exceeded my exceptions and good value. However the poor communication to me from Hotels.com regarding the checkin procedure & security deposit left me out in the rain before getting into my room. Had it not been for the staff at the hotel guiding me it would have taken longer. The Hotel and staff were great. Hotels.com not so much.

Was locked out of the building before I could check in. Worst experience Ive ever had with a hotel. Refusing to refund me after not letting me in to the room. Never using Expedia again.

Quite quirky rooms with interesting layouts. It doesn't feel very secure when travelling alone with no key lock, or chain lock on the doors (there were 2 connecting doors to my room). Bed was very comfortable, shower was great and had everything I needed in the kitchen. Check in was fine as others said it was difficult but once you follow the instructions it's pretty simple. Rooms a little on the cool side with breezes through the vents but this didn't bother me too much.

We had a few issues with sticky floors and no hot water. Although the hot water issue was fixed the following day we had to cope with the sticky flooring for the remainder of our stay.

I booked a studio room here expecting a king-size bed, proper flooring, and the facilities as described. What I received was very different: a bunk bed, damaged floor, and overall poor condition of the room. On top of that, a staff member entered my room unannounced using a master key just minutes after check-in – a serious breach of privacy. Several facilities were broken (AC panel, automated curtains), and despite reporting these issues, there was no proper follow-up. When someone finally came, they were unaware of half the problems and fixed nothing but to make the AC-problems worse. Noise was another major issue. Thin walls meant I was disturbed on multiple nights – once by returning neighbors, another time by a crying baby – making it impossible to rest properly. Expedia mediated a partial refund, but the hotel itself refused to take responsibility for the clear misrepresentation and poor service. For a stay that cost €500 (3 nights!!!), this was far below acceptable standards. In short: misleading room descriptions, broken facilities, unprofessional service, and no accountability afterwards. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this hotel. I encourage you to look further and to not book a room at this accommodation.

AVOID. The check-in process was very stressful and frustrating. The host sent the wrong lockbox code in the check-in instructions and I was unable to access the apartment. I tried contacting the host through multiple channels (Expedia messages, email, and the 2 phone numbers they had supplied) and received absolutely no response. As it was late evening I was ready to give up and go elsewhere. It was only after calling a different phone number I found on their website and waiting for almost 2 hours that I was finally given the correct code. Despite it being the host's mistake of sending the wrong code, I received no apology or offer of compensation for the immense stress I experienced. Unfortunately, the problems didn’t stop there. Once inside the apartment, I was appalled to discover that the bedsheets were dirty and had dark brown stains which appeared to be blood. I had to search the apartment building for clean sheets and change them myself, which is the last thing anyone wants to do after arriving after a long journey. The room also had visible dust and debris all over the floor, and the fridge was filthy, suggesting it hadn’t been properly cleaned or vacuumed in quite some time. Furthermore, the walls of the room had exposed limescale plaster which made it feel like staying in a room that was partially renovated. Overall, the lack of communication, cleanliness, and basic hospitality made this a very disappointing stay. Go elsewhere and save yourself the stress.
