Good location and breakfast but not very clean

Location and breakfast.

− The property had a bad smell coming from the bathroom. Also it was very hard to go to the lobby because of the stairs with your luggage.

Nightmare

1.0

− Before arriving at the hotel, I received a recommendation via WhatsApp regarding a parking spot for my car. It turned out to be an extremely dubious place; they kept the cars on a neighboring street—unlocked, with the key left on the front right tire. The hotel is located on a street full of homeless people and filth—not the kind of place you’d want to walk through late at night. The room we were assigned to was chaotic and dirty, but that wasn't the worst of it. Around 9:30 PM, loud banging and the sound of a power tool started coming from the room next door, accompanied by shouting in German. My wife, our two-year-old child, and I finally managed to fall asleep around 10:30 PM, but at about 12:30 AM, we were jolted awake by a massive crash from that same neighboring room—it made my son cry and terrified my wife. Several more crashes followed over the next few minutes, so I went down to the reception to ask what was going on. The receptionist came up to our floor with me and opened the door to the room next to ours, then scolded the people inside in German—I got the impression that she knew them quite well. Eventually, the whole commotion came to an end. My parents were accommodated below the hotel’s so-called "restaurant," which functions as a hookah bar in the evening; they couldn't fall asleep until well past midnight due to the noise from the bar's patrons and the smell of cigarettes. The breakfast was extremely meager. Upon entering the incredibly cramped "restaurant," the sullen woman behind the counter told us that we were expected to clear our own tables after eating. I strongly advise against staying at this hotel!

1.0

Owners son was terrible. Even though I was in contact with accommodation prior to arrival he didn't tel me that Uber was going to leave me 20 minutes downhill from accommodation and I had to walk up the hill bear in mind I had a heart attack October 2025 and and 2 x stents. When I told him about this or arrival and I wanted to cancel he laughed at em and said no. When I showed them my medication they just laughed at me.

− I don't like the service and attitude. I wnat a full refund. I told him what if u have a heart attack walking up he left. 2 x 23 kg bag and 3 hand carry I was stuck in a paid accommodation I could not cancel
