Unfortunately, the place's reliance on a completely keyless experience has a few problems:
- During my stay, I was locked out of my room. I tried calling the supplied phone number, but no one answered. I sent an email, and tried calling again. After some time, someone answered on the phone. When I asked how the room got locked in spite of me doing nothing special, the person on the phone said something along the lines of that this is "new technology" and that they don't know exactly how it works. So, I asked how I can make sure it won't happen again, and was told that it won't because it's now fixed. This was confusing, if they don't know how it works, how do they know it is indeed fixed and won't happen again? I asked that, and didn't get any solid response. Oh well.
- It's a bit unnerving to use your room entry code when other people are walking in your floor, if they see the code they can access your room! And, although my room had a safe, it did not work.
Still, my overall experience was OK:
- The room was well stocked (fridge, microwave, TV, coffee machine, closet, iron, soap, toilet paper, towels, air conditioner and ceiling fan)
- The room had a ton of lights, all were dimmable
- The single window is large and had great light-blocking curtains (useful because the opposing flats kept their lights on at night)
- The tap and shower had *very* hot water 24/7, one could even use it to make tea
- Location is great, close to public transportation and nice spots, well lit at night and safe
Bad points:
- Keyless entry is great, until you get locked out of the room
- The room was a bit dusty, and the bathroom wasn't the most clean I've seen (especially the fan)
