I’ll start with the good, the price, it’s the cheapest place to stay and if you don’t require much (which I do not) then this place will do just fine. The room was spacious I was honestly shocked at how large it was and the bed had a heating pad which was really nice. They provide towels and chips which is also ok. Oh and there’s a free Starbucks vending machine so coffee lovers swipe right!
The bad, I was unable to get ANY type of response from the host. All his replies seemed to be automated. Like when you call customer support and have to speak to a robot, or self checkout at a grocery store. The host literally runs this place remotely from a camera which he has throughout. The bathrooms aren’t very convenient you are sharing 2 toilets with 9 other rooms
And potentially 18 different ppl just do the math. Tony Danza couldn’t keep this place clean. The atmosphere just felt cold and uninviting. He literally forbids anyone not on the log inside (absolutely no company) and the only time I got a response that wasn’t entirely automated is when the host was threatening to charge my
Account 90 euro for smoking. PS I do not smoke. But this is where the cost seemed justified. He has 3 rules which he will repeatedly send in the form
Of automated passive aggressive threats. That must be where he recoups from the rooms being so cheap yet unaccommodating. 90 mins before checkout he sent me a very bland reminder to checkout before 11 am and given the tone of previous messages I’m under the impression that 11:05 would have meant a 90 euro fine as well.
The location is central downtown, maybe he’s had some bad experiences, he seems completely hands off and simply has surveillance cameras everywhere. I canceled my 2nd night there and just conceded to paying for a night I wouldn’t utilize the unit. I bet this happens often also…
He did however give me a recommendation on a bag storage facility nearby which if I didn’t have the internet or a cell phone would have been very helpful. He also offered to waive my “cleaning fee” if I left I 5 star review which…seems like a serious conflict of interest.
