For the price it is great, very handy to have a fridge in room with the shared kitchen area to reheat food and to have an ice maker there too.

At check-in no one was at the front counter. I had to sit and wait outside. The bathroom had mold the chemicals that they use for cleaning was very strong in the room. Luckily the windows were accessible to open to air it out the room. I asked for specific service and was denied Was told to contact management management are useless.

I've stayed here many times. Right when you open the door to the room, the smell of the bedding is amazing haha. Its really cozy and i love having the city feel in a smaller package. Opening the windows is awesome.

Good location but Unreliable Services

Overall, I would not recommend this hotel despite its convenient location near the city center. Yes, the location is great, but there are serious issues that outweigh this advantage. First, the front desk is not always staffed. If you arrive at midday or late in the evening, you may find no one there and the front door locked. Since the room keys are also needed to access the building, this means you might not even be able to get inside. They claim there is a “resident manager” you can call for help, but that number is essentially useless. I tried calling multiple times, both during the day and at night, and not once did anyone ever answer. If you have an urgent issue, there’s basically no way to reach staff. Second, the hotel facilities are very outdated. Everything feels old and worn, and there were also quite a few strange guests around, which did not feel very safe. In summary: good location, but poor management, unreliable service, and uncomfortable environment. I strongly suggest looking elsewhere if you want a worry-free stay.
