There is a lot to like about this hotel: cozy decor, comfortable bed, great location, and unbeatable price. Common shower and WC areas don’t bother me, and they are clearly indicated in the listing. The only issue was the surprise requirement to pay for the shower(!). In a hotel. Seriously. This wasn’t specified in the clearest way in the listing, and it’s not even something I’ve ever heard of before or would know to look for in a listing for a hotel. It’s a cheap, tacky “Ryanair” approach to budget hotel management in an otherwise lovely hotel. I would have been happy just to pay an up-front price that covers what they think is the cost of a shower rather than feel nickel-and-dimed as if I am flying a tacky budget airline (there’s a charge for soap and shampoo, too, so bring your own).
