IMPOSSIBLE TO SLEEP

The room was clean and comfortable

👍 Liked
  • The room was clean and comfortable
👎 Disliked
  • Impossible to sleep due to the music from the bar next to the rooms until 2 in the morning and the guys who live there make noise until one in the morning, in the common area overlooking the rooms. The structure was informed of this problem but did not find a solution. They only sent a notification to the phone. Scandalous

Affordable

Good premises that were cleaned regularly. Large room for 8 people, very comfortable beds. Quite spacious kitchen. Own outlet by the bed and a safe where a small backpack fits.

👎 Disliked
  • People smoked everywhere despite signs. It was a short walk to the center, not too bad. If you can't stand noise at night, you shouldn't stay here, it's above a bar. Only one shower had really good water pressure.

The next door was too noisy, should have been warned before staying that it would be noisy until midnight on weekends

Staff were very friendly and helpful.

👍 Liked
  • Staff were very friendly and helpful.
👎 Disliked
  • The shared facilities were often dirty, bins overflowing, no toilet paper, clogged sinks. The place could really benefit from some minor redecoration to make it look less like a prison yard. Paper-thin walls so you could hear absolutely everything going on in the room next door.
