I wish I could write a more positive evaluation of my stay but also I don't want to lie.
Positives first though!
The hotel is in a nice neighbourhood and close to some restaurants and metro station. There's quick access to see some attractions. The hotel was easy to find and they have friendly staff working at the reception.
Now the less appealing things.
The overall cleanliness of the place is really below standard. Even for a 3-star hotel it was really run-down looking, the carpeted floors looked unclean and so did the walls. In fact there was some rubbish on the floor when I climbed the stairs to the upper floor which was not much but still did tell me there's not enough staff looking after the place.
The room itself was tiny. I mean from the pictures I could already see it's tiny but it really was miniscule. Even the bathroom door didn't open all the way and perhaps the tiny space explains some of the marks and scratched on the room's walls when there's barely enough room to open your suitcase... But to get back to the cleanliness and hygiene.
There were white stains on the bathroom floor when I walked in there. Also fingerprints on the shower's adjusting know and sink's tab = not cleaned properly. There were also stains on the walls which were light but still very unpleasant to see in a space that is supposed to be crystal clean. The towels had stains in them. Almost all of them did and then after noticing that I checked the bed. The duvet's sheet had some holes in it, like someone had dropped a cigarette there, those little round ones. Also it had red stains on it which I could see where old stains after being washed but nevertheless they were there.
When I asked the receptionist to give me clean towels and a new sheet I got towels and a new sheet. Not for a duvet but a normal sheet. Also I had to change them myself because at 4-5PM there was no cleaner present to do that.
When I removed the stained sheet I noticed the duvet itself had stains and corroded holes. So that was unpleasant to say the least. Also the provided shampoos and such were a bit weird since they had a different hotel's name on them but maybe this Moulin Vert is part of some hotel chain or something....
After all this unpleasant start for my stay I did request cancellation possibilities from the reception and she was kind to offer a change of rooms. However the level of hygiene had already scarred the hotel's image so I didn't feel comfortable staying there. Cancellation was easy via Airbnb App but of course the cancellation policy was so that after doing it on the day of arrival I had to pay service fees and for the first night anyway.
I booked another hotel and stayed in this one for the first night.
Perhaps unnecessary to say it was not a good feeling to leave all my belongings in the hotel room when the reception wants to hold guests' keys while they venture outside of the hotel. So after a quick dinner I came back and tried to ventilate the room enough with the poor air-con to get some change of air in that tiny space. There was a window which did open a little bit and it offered a nice view of a white wall on the inner yard and dumpsters.
I wish I could say more nice things about it but unfortunately I do not have much positives to write. I was actually very, very surprised how terrible my short stay was because all the other reviews are so positive and praise the place. Perhaps I was super unlucky and the housekeeper just had a really bad day but for me this one experience was enough to abandon this place for good.
