Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
No idea how this property has such high reviews. We left almost immediately and booked ourselves somewhere else nearby. The room was very basic, which would have been fine, but was also not clean. Sheets and beds had stains, traces of bed bugs, and only a dirty looking blanket to cover you that didn't look like it had been washed. Staff member barely reacted when we handed back the keys and said we were leaving - just rolled his eyes and took the key, so I assume we aren't the first to leave early!

Has potential, but stinky carpet must go
The carpet in the guest rooms smells very bad. Carpet needs to be pulled up ASAP. Otherwise it's a nice place, friendly staff.

Ikke det bedste sted
Man vælger et sted pga WiFi, og så dur det ikke 2 ud af 3 dage. Useriøst at de ikke får en tekniker hurtig ud. Værelset. Beskidt. Kakkerlakker. Svampelignede substans på vægge. Værelset lugtede meget indelukket og var ikke til at sove i. Helt sikkert ikke sundt. Ellers flinkt personale. Morgenmad bestod af kaffe/the og toast

Centralt beliggende
Boede her ad to omgange. Først i værelse 208 og en uge senere i værelse 201. Værelse 208.:God seng. Intet vindue. God aircondition. Ingen trafikstøj. Badeværelse lige overfor. Værelse 201 har vinduer ud mod gaden. Trafikstøjen hører man ikke på grund af en støjende og ikke virkende aircondition (mangler nok bare rensning og kølemiddel). Så sov med åbent vindue. Udsigt til toppen af Menara Dayabimi bygningen. Værelset virker lidt større end værelse 208. Om stedet: god wifi i lobbyen (ingen wifi på værelserne). Renlighed afhænger nok meget at gæsterne den pågældende dag (de ansatte gør hvad de kan for at holde orden). Tag sko med op på værelset (der sker let forbytninger). Enkel morgenmad bestående af hvidt brød/kaffe/te. Centralt placeret i rolige omgivelser (stedets størst styrke). Der er tagterasse med en smule udsigt. Bor her gerne igen på grund af beliggenheden og den afslappede stemning.

安全性に不安がある宿。 部屋の鍵やロッカーの鍵に不安が。 共同のトイレやシャワー室の鍵もこわれたまま。 清潔な感じがない。 スタッフの感じは悪くなかった。
