An excellent location in the city area and close to the train station. Room is small but very clean and functional! I only wish the check-in process could have been made easier for guests although staff is very helpful. Enjoyed our one night stay!
Wonderful location, clean comfortable. We love the arch walkways. If it rains you can stay dry. The staff are very accommodating and friendly. Highly recommend.
To be honest, the room was fine, the staff once we met them were very friendly. The checkin was VERY difficult I have to say. No guidance on how to enter the property (no reception), I wrote messages on Expedia before that were left unanswered, then wrote to the provided whatsapp number which was left unread and then i called 30mins before checkin. Once this was settled the room was fine. I loved the location and the staff was friendly when i met them.
The suites were very nice. We had really loud neighbors and so management moved us to a quieter room. We really appreciated them doing that for us. The location was great - everything is within walking distance and the bus stop is close. We would definitely stay there again.
Great location . We had a little problem with our first room and we moved room. Second room was huge but didn’t have a window. We were only there a few nights so we were ok with this. Really appreciated having a late checkout. I would stay again.
Once I got in the room it was great. Clean, spacious and comfortable. I was supposed to receive a code before I checked in but it was given to me at the last minute so a bit stressful. Place is unmanned so code very important. It was expensive but it was a last minute booking
This locaction is ok. It's a long walk from the train station but doable. Also close to shopping areas. The rooms itself looks good but it had some issues. There was mold all behind the curtain. The AC also didnt work. We had to open the window to get some fresh air and we where lucky it was a little cooler at night.

Construction and renovations were cosmetic. The room was clean but the toilet came away from the wall, the sink looked like it might fall on our feet, and the ceiling in our friends’ room started leaking. The location of the property is amazing, but there is a lot of dog poo in the area. The bed was slumped in the middle which made for uncomfortable sleeping. Check-in and check-out were quick and easy. The shower was great. The A/C was just a fan, and there were no real windows in the unit to allow for fresh air circulation, which I found stifling.
Very clean, modern room with excellent housekeeping. Can be a bit noisy at night, thanks to nearby bar. Only natural light is from skylight, so wouldn’t recommend it for longer stay unless you don’t mind not having window. We were fine for two nights, and neighborhood is convenient.
Host’s communication wasn’t great — they sent entry directions to WhatsApp, not Expedia, without warning and no one showed up to let us in at front. (Another tenant let us in eventually.) They told us they’d send link to pay local tax, but never did, despite reminder. Someone finally collected it as we were leaving.
Oh, and unless you’re tall, you probably won’t be able to use hangers, which are stationed absurdly high in wardrobe.
Pros: location, clean room, easy check in process. Kind staff.
Remarks: junior suite has no windows. All doors are opened through an app. It malfunctioned once and 4 guests were stuck outside. Hotel is kind of hard to reach through WhatsApp. Since no reception one would assume faster replies through WhatsApp (I called - not just texted that specific time).
Communication was generally flawed. Their administration (payment and getting information through to staff) was not optimal.
For some reason every night at around 00-02 there was this weird loud sound coming from the walls (water) and some weird suction noises then...the stench...the stench of feces woke us up if the sound didn't. So that wasn't too nice.
But as you can see I'm still giving a 4 star for the stay. Just wanted to be clear with the review that we did encounter and observe som problems. Other than that the location is top notch. The room was spacious and clean. The app is actually quite useful. Never need to keep track of keys (although they did offer physical keys in the room. Just for transparency).
The room was dirty and had no windows. When I queried this, the host opened an electronic shutter in the ceiling, revealing a dirty skylight, from which dozens of spiders (alive and dead) then fell onto the bed - so I had to keep that closed for the duration of the stay. There was also a funny smell which was apparently a spray to “sanitise” the room, but I think the real reason for it was to cover up the mould smell coming from the mini fridge and from the bathroom. There is also no manned reception desk (something I missed from the small print) so check in was quite stressful having to make arrangements to meet the host. It is certainly very well located, but overall not worth the price and I will not be staying here again.
There is no staff on site to help you if you need it. All doors open from a webpage on your phone. If your phone dies, or your data package runs out and you can’t access that page, you’re not getting in. The management only responds to texts on WhatsApp from 9AM to 10PM, and in my experience they didn’t even respond to those. There’s an intercom at the front door, but they won’t answer it. They have only responded to me to argue against giving me a refund after my horrible experience. In addition, they were using my room to store building materials.
