Our stay at this hotel was quite disappointing due to several significant issues. First, the room was extremely dusty, which unfortunately led to both me and my partner developing rashes on our legs. The noise level was another major problem. The hotel is situated on a busy, touristy street with bars nearby, and because the windows are not soundproof, we were constantly disturbed by the loud noises of people drinking late into the night. Adding to the disturbance, our visit coincided with the Olympics, resulting in frequent police sirens and ongoing road construction that continued well past midnight. The lack of soundproofing made it almost impossible to get a good night’s sleep, as we were repeatedly woken up by the noise outside.
The bathroom design also left much to be desired. There was no door or curtain in the shower, which meant that every time we used it, water splashed everywhere, essentially flooding the bathroom. The hotel itself is an old building, and it shows. The floors were creaky and uneven, and the rooms were poorly insulated, allowing us to hear every footstep in the hallway and noise from downstairs. To make matters worse, the toilet had no ventilation or window, causing unpleasant odors to linger for a long time.
While the hotel’s location may be convenient for those wanting to be in the heart of the action, the numerous drawbacks—poor soundproofing, dust, and outdated facilities—made our stay uncomfortable and unsatisfactory.
