NO AC-but clean-Central location- Stayed July 2015
Imagine my surprise upon check-in, during a heat wave in July nonetheless (97F!) that they have NO AC!!!!!!!!!! Should I have paid attention to details listed under amenities? Perhaps. Or....perhaps the spoiled American that I have become, I 'assumed' that of course there is going to be AC, who doesn't have AC right?!?! Well....these guys don't. The girl at the front desk explained that since it was an older hotel, only a few rooms had AC but they could provide me with a fan.
Since I had a pre-paid/non-refundable booking I decided to stick it out as I was here only for 3 nights. The fan was a tiny table fan, not much help, and opening the windows made it slightly bearable in the room but being in a very central location you can hear all the noise from the street. Those ear plugs sure came in handy!
Old construction and not in the most well maintained pristine condition. The bathroom however was updated. The room itself, bedding, towels and bathroom were very clean. Fridge in the room didn't work. Tiny old school elevator.
Can't speak for the breakfast as grabbing something at Starbucks down the block was a cheaper option.
The staff was friendly & helpful with directions, restaurant recommendations. Smooth check-in/out process over all. VERY central location, short walk to most attractions/museums, metro & tram lines. Lots of bars, restaurants & shops in the area.
The friendly staff & cleanliness is probably why I am giving this place 3 stars. Definitely avoid staying here in the summer. read more
