Dated, tired, dirty and too many issues Travelling as a family of 4 with 2 grandparents in addition (60 years old). We arrived exhausted having been told we couldn’t check in at lunchtime. At 6pm the auto check in machine told us our reservation wasn’t valid- Que panic for by now exhausted travellers. After some help we finally got it sorted. Pros Quiet and relatively safe outside Close to central parts Air Con worked fine Coffee machine and safe were useful. Cons Room was 4 flights of tight old stairs up- challenging even if you’re fit. Not suitable for older travellers. Lift was ancient and as expected broke several times during our trip. Fixes were slow and we had to actively request help. Room was filthy thick dust and dirt on floor, shelves not cleaned in some time (see pic after 3rd wipe…! Dirty towels (pics shown after unrolling) No drawers or surfaces or anywhere really to store things, shelves too high to access- I’m 6ft3? Giant wardrobes house 6 hangers. Bunk bed dangerous for kids- no bar across top or bottom, kids kept kitting their heads on the wooden shelf part. Shower mouldy and drain blocked. Balcony aged and not safe for children/ or I’d wager adults. Roof terrace was in very poor state of repair- no working lights either. I honestly don’t know whose standards believes this level of cleaning is ok in a room but I wouldn't stay again if they paid us. Awful.
