Well I am sitting in the reception area of this "hotel" having arrived here about 40 minutes ago. Where do I start?
Having pre-warned the hotel that I was going to be arriving late, I expected them not to have exhibited such surprise when I did actually make an appearance. After much pontification, they asked, delete that .. demanded my passport (for reasons unknown to me and also, it seems to them!) and then before I had the opportunity to take off my rucksack in order to gain access to my wallet, they demanded payment. The entire checking in experience was somewhat degrading and very far from what I had expected.
I decided that since it was nearly midnight, I would simply avail myself of the room awaiting me and create some distance between myself and the hotel staff, who by this stage, I really could not stomach. I had arrived at the hotel cheerful, yet by the time I got to my room, I simply wanted to sleep in readiness to leave early the next morning.
I am given a key to a room on the second floor and make my way wearily along the dimly lit hallway reminiscent of a halfway house. I get to the room, turn the key and what awaits me? Well.. to start with a profound smell of cheesy feet and socks and then the manifestation of what appeared to be someone else's socks, shoes and trousers on the floor. They had given me someone else's bedroom.
I make my way back down to the reception and they apologise profusely (Well I shall not give them a demerit for that) and give me another key.
By this stage, I am slightly more anxious than before fearing that the state of the first room was probably a good indication of the appearance of the one to follow. I was for the most part correct. Ok, the room was tidy, it had a tv and the beds were made up, but that really was about all I can say that was positive.
If you dislike sailing and ships, then you will dislike the layout of the bedroom which is reminiscent of a cabin (albeit a cabin in a hostel for the homeless). Small, claustrophobic with a bizarre portacabin type shower room (see photos).
Moreover the curtain was falling off of the rail and the carpet had seen better days. I am presently in the reception area writing this review and only hope that when I finally retire to bed, I do not suffocate in my sleep as the room is positively stifling.
Onto a few other points before I take the next few steps in the abyss which is that hotel room:
Firstly, the hotel is NOT 100 metres from the station. The distance is more akin to 200-300 metres.
Secondly, contrary to the impression provided by the hotel, it does not have internet access throughout the hotel, merely in the small seating area downstairs near the reception. You can attempt until kingdom come to obtain a wireless connection in the rooms, it will not happen. Perhaps, a little more honesty on their part would not have gone amiss. I did not relish having to sit downstairs in a public area with no privacy and I disliked the fact that on various websites that misrepresent the fact that there is no internet in any of the rooms.
Thirdly, I did not feel comfortable with them photocopying my passport given that the hotel was barely passable as a two star. What an earth did they think that any potential visitor could do to make the bedroom any more unbearable than it already was. A hotel guest could take that room apart and I am sure it would be a marked improvement.
Finally, the hotel is based down a side street which really is a little sinister when you are walking down there along at night. There were a lot of men wandering aimlessly outside and as a woman, I did not feel especially safe.
The one and possibly only positive factor was that the hotel was directly opposite the tram line which is precisely what I needed in the morning given that I am making my way back to the airport.
Would I stay at this hotel again? Resolutely no - for the 55 odd euros paid, it simply was not worth it and even if the standard of the hotel was higher, the attitude of two of the members of staff was a compelling enough reason not to return here again!

I don't know how this place is still in business, it certainly doesn't deserve to be. We had a group of 60 who stayed there and all universally hated the place, The staff were unfriendly and downright stupid. The rooms tiny, dirty and SMELLY. The only redeeming features were that the breakfast was just about OK (bread, croissant, coffee and OJ, but that's it), free wifi errr - that's it. It should be demolished in my opinion. Stay in the Mercure next door if you want to be here.

This was the most horrible hotel I've ever stayed in. The floor wasn't clean, there was hair in de shower, dust everywhere, window was very dirty with fingerprints everywhere, the badroomdoor aswell.The staff was VERY unfriendly !
We called the day before we would arrive to book one room extra. They told us that this wasn't a problem. When we arrived, the lady said that we didn't book it so we had to pay extra !!! They also said that they were almost complete, but that wasn't the case at all.
We had a dirty towel in our badroom (with red/orange stains). When we gave it to the lady behind the desk but she said that it wasn't her fault and that she couldn't help us.. When you work in a hotel, you represent it, right ? She was so childish.
We had to check out at 12 a.m., but our flight was late in the evening so we asked the lady if it was possible to put our luggage behind locked doors. We heard from others that it was possible. I guess the lady didn't liked us because of the complaining we did (towel, dirty shower) because she said that there was no possibilty to do that.

I went to Europe for 21 days and just got back to the US. Out of 7 cities and 7 hostels I stayed at , this is the worst place and the cost even more expensive than others, I can't believe I paid almost $80/ night (double occupancy) for myself, let me start from the lobby as I checked in, the staffs were cold and unfriendly, the manager gave me the impression of a jail warden and he gave you a cold stare, he answered my questions with a shrug as if I have no right to ask anything...
Next as I walked into the room, this is a matchbox size of a room, small bath room, toilet has no flip down, you have to squash to use it, wall paper pealing off, bed is a platform of plywood with two small mattresses on top (double occ.), the blankets appeared to be unwashed, giving up clud of dirt as I flipped it up, just too tire and too disgusted, I did not have the courage to complain to the manager, he might gave me a stare and a shrug again.
I paid for double occupancy hoping I can get a good room with a lot of space to stretch, ended up I got this, while in Florence I paid for only 1/4 of this (Gallo D'oro) and I had wonderful time, just be careful....I will not come back here, if it's even for free.
