If you’re looking for a hotel where you can hear absolutely everything your neighbours do, be treated like an inconvenience by the staff, and sleep in what feels like a bathroom with a bed — congratulations, you’ve found it.
The staff seemed remarkably uninterested in their jobs. Every question or request appeared to be an annoying interruption. Warmth, helpfulness and enthusiasm were clearly not included.
The sound insulation is practically non-existent. You can hear every door opening, every rolling suitcase in the corridor, every shower running and every toilet flushing. Then the cleaners start early in the morning in the hallways, making sure you don’t accidentally get any sleep.
My room was another experience altogether. It was essentially a bathroom with a bed squeezed into it. The toilet was directly in the room, and the only window was a tiny skylight in the roof. Very cosy — if your idea of cosy is sleeping in a bathroom cupboard.
The airport shuttle was equally impressive. The instructions for finding it were so long and complicated they seemed almost designed to make you give up and take a taxi.
There’s no proper lounge either, just a neglected terrace.
Overall, a memorable stay — but definitely not in a good way. If you enjoy listening to strangers shower, hearing suitcases roll past your door and feeling like your presence is an inconvenience, this is the place for you.
Everyone else: stay somewhere else.
