“Where's my bed?!?”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 May 2007
2
people found this review helpful

I was surprised when there wasn't an actual bed but a pull out couch, which was EXTREMELY uncomfortable. (So uncomfortable that my friend and I had back pains for a day or two after sleeping there for 3 nights.) However, the shower was great with amazing water pressure. The kitchen was also a plus that helped save on some food costs.

As for location, the hotel is tucked behind the Kyriad Prestige and hard to find, especially at night. It's a bit out of the way from the city center, but by no means completely remote - a good 15 minute walk every morning.

  • Liked — The water pressure in the shower
  • Disliked — The unsleepable bed

“Never again”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 May 2007

people found this review helpful

Our room in this hotel didn't even have a real bed. It had a fold out couch that was the most uncomfortable thing I ever slept on - or rather wasn't able to sleep on. These rooms seem to be efficiency apartments more than hotel rooms. Ours had a kitchen - complete with dirty glasses in the cabinets. The price was much more than qouted as well - when I booked this on the internet the price was 45 euros. When we checked in and the taxes were added in, the rate came to more than 80 euros. Quite a difference, and certainly too much to pay for what is provided. The location is horrible as well - in an area of industrial buildings, with nothing around except a small grocery store, and no restaurants except the overy overpriced Kryiad hotel restaurant next door.

  • Liked — woman at the checkin desk
  • Disliked — horrible bed
  • Stayed May 2007, travelled as a couple

“Sterile accommodation and horrible location”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 June 2006
4
people found this review helpful

The photo in the brochure looked good, but that is the only good thing about this supposedly apartment accommodation. Looked to us like very basic university student accommodation or halfway house. Everything brown and very sterile, mould in the kitchen cupboard, a rock-hard bed, and a toilet not even fixed to the floor - that was a challenge! A long way from anywhere and a very unsafe location. Would not recommend to anyone.

“Unfriendly and unsafe location”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 May 2004
8
people found this review helpful

Place was in unsafe location. We were advised to not walk in neighborhood. In fact, tour bus was vandalised while we stayed there. Staff was very protective of mini-bar and phone. Got the feeling they felt we were going to rip them off. Rooms were outdated (early 70's) and dirty. Curtains torn, blankets pilled, walls marked up, carpet stained. Wouldn't recommend to anyone. They did have a good breakfast buffet though.
