We were greeted with someone checking his watch in annoyance as if we were early for check in (we weren’t), then I had to ask where the room was because it wasn’t obvious. The entrance to the “hotel” is down a dark and dirty alley, where the bar seems to store a few broken pallets and hasn’t been swept in a while.
The bedding was clean and comfortable, but the cleanliness of the hallway and bedroom wasn’t great. Hairs and debris on the floor, crumbs in the bedside drawers, dirty marks on the walls. The carpet in the hallway is heavily stained in places. The drawers on the bedside cabinets are broken, with handles inside the drawers and the drawers fall out when you open them.
The bathroom door is one that slides between the walls, it goes too far and it’s a struggle to get it out again, and there’s also not a handle on the inside so you have to use your fingers to pull it open using the grooves in the door. The toilet brush and toilet roll holder and tarnished with rust, and the toilet brush handle is broken so it can’t be used hygienically.
The main door to the apartments slams and so does each of the apartment doors. There’s also a large gap underneath so lots of light comes in from the hallway at night. Curtains aren’t great either. No lock on the inside of the door, so no real security features inside.
It’s a convenient location to the centre and onward travel, such as the railway station. But, it’s next to bars and you can hear their bottle bins when you’re in bed.
