This hotel’s location is great. The terrace is a great spot to have a coffee and a good read. Great price. Very convenient communal kitchen. The guys at reception did a tremendous job.
Unfortunately though, although listed as one, this is not a boutique hostel. Unusable, unmarked and inconvenient "toiletries" that seemed like they’d been sitting there forever. The room seemed extremely run down. Linens, curtains and towels did not resemble a "charming minimalist" room, more so like a "90s motel" room. Breakfast was mostly good, but did not seem very fresh. There was always a funky smell in my bathroom. The water in the shower kept changing temperatures constantly. The AC made cranking noises all through the night even when it was off, therefore interrupting sleep. The WIFI barely reached my room.
The house has great potential and these are all things that can easily get solved. I hope they do.
Thanks for the hospitality.
