Ok hotel but room was small.

Staff were very helpful from Reception to Repair team. Hotel was in good location near shops and transport. The room was a small double with en-suite. Bathroom was great . Large and modern. There was little space around the beds which probably accounted for all the marks on the walls.The room was showing signs of wear and tear with patches on paint, holes where hooks and hangers were missing so needed a refresh. The rooms down the corridor were being refurbished so maybe this room is on the list. Would stay again but ask for a twin rather than double.

Checking in was easy. Good English spoken. Lobby is very pleasant. Room was clean and above all quiet all night. Shower was lovely. Temperature perfect. Price we paid was really good value. After a reasonably late arrival on a Sunday we found plenty of eating options very nearby.

They should activate all the bunk bed charging sockets. It’s burdensome to have to move to another corner to be able to charge one’s electronics. Other than that , it is an excellent place. I highly recommend it.

Checked in at 2:30 am with no issues. The man on the desk dealt with us quickly. Overall all the staff were so friendly and spoke good english. The room was clean and very nice. Towels were provided and a hairdryer. Body wash and hand soap is provided. The location was perfect, it was about a 30 min walk away from the famous spa, 10 min walk away from good bars and about 20 min walk away from st Stephens Basillica which from there is a walking distance to the famous bridges, parliament and other land marks. It was not noisy at night. Overall, the the price was amazing i would definitely stay here again and recommend this to others!

Dirty, but helpful customer service

I stayed a few nights here. When I first checked in, I was given a very dirty all female room. The trashcans were completely filled, the bathroom floors were dirty, the hand towel hanger was broken, and it smelled bad. I went downstairs to complain and asked how often were the rooms cleaned. I kept asking when it would be clean because it would be a health hazard for the women staying there. The receptionist was kind enough to move me to a mixed room that was significantly cleaner.
