It was never mentioned once that this accommodation was a student residence. It was difficult to get a response from anyone when I was checking in which caused stress from the very beginning. Upon finally receiving access to my room, it was very dirty and did not match the photos. I immediately had to purchase cleaning products to attempt to make the room somewhat satisfactory. It was explained that this is a “student accommodation” and what you see is what you get, there would be “no extras.”
Further, I asked for pillows at the “reception desk” and was told they would be put in my room, this never happened. The fan fell off the wall in the middle of the night while I was sleeping. I went to the “reception desk” in the morning to raise the issue and nobody was there.
Overall, the floors were dirty, the walls were dirty, the counters were dirty, the shower did not drain, the entire building was loud (students/construction) and was very uncomfortable to stay in.
The accommodation was overpriced (due to the fringe festival all other hotels were booked) and I would not recommend anyone stay here.
