TERRIBLE PLACE TO STAY.

The “hotel” was terrible. When we got into the hotel there was water all over the floor. Afterwards the next morning, the ceiling was leaking all over the floor in front of the bathroom door. You can hear everyone coming in and out of the hotel as the door slams really loudly. There is a cigarette smell that comes from leaving your window open but if you close it there is no fan, ac, or ventilation in the room.

It’s the wort place for holidays no fan no iron no cleaning and no communication. At the time of booking we mentioned that we need twin beds but when we reached they give us. Double bed and when i said that I mentioned i need twin after 1 day they replied that they don’t have

I chose this place for a specific reason, which was the distance from my friends staying in an apartment close by. So my only requirements were a good night sleep and cleanliness without breaking the bank since I was only for 30hrs in Zurich. The property matched all of them.

In the bathroom the water doesn‘t drain away. The TV and the kettle don’t work. If you try to speak to the management, you‘ll kept on hold and nobody answers the phone. The area around the entrancy smells stinky. In the room there are many stains on the furniture. These appartements are horrible and not worth any penny.

Value for price

Only booked this because it was close to an event I was attending and was happy at the price. I was surprised by all the in-room amenities because I want looking for that. A person staying longer would have benefited from the kitchen, dining table and ironing board. I was impressed by the large bathroom including a whirl pool bath tub.

Fine for a short cheap stay. But otherwise - Black mould. No soap or dish soap to wash anything. The kettle and some appliances can’t be plugged in because they don’t supply adaptors. And a lottt of spiders.

The studio was good but the bin in the kitchen was full of garbage (milk cartons, egg cartons, etc) and the wall at the side of the table was falling apart, the paint even got in my husband's jacket.

Poorly maintained Fan so broken and out of balance that it couldn’t be used Shower head hose broken and sprayed all over the bathroom Was advised routine maintenance was to occur during my stay, so I told them about these issues, but nothing happened Was advertised as daily maid service. Didn't happen The common area is filthy. If you a light sleeper, I suggest staying somewhere else. The trolly tram runs directly outside
Brett, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

To summarise my reasoning and experience - this is why I believe that a full refund is necessary :- * Room was not available on arrival (email indicated that it was) * Room had not been cleaned (and probably wouldn’t have in time unless we had arrived at 12:30pm and made contact re the missing key). * Cleaner took well over an hour to get this tiny single room clean. * Room looks (and is) absolutely nothing like the photos represented on Wotif - room is not an apartment, it is a single small room with a small bathroom attached. * Issues with room:- - it is filthy and potentially dangerous - there are obvious signs of toxic mold throughout the room and especially in the bathroom and around the kitchenette - The shower door is broken and hanging off - being glass this is serious - The toilet seat is hanging off, moves from side to side - There is a “decorative” piece of wood that is hanging off the wall and has nails exposed - There are external lights that cannot be turned off that light up the entire room all night - it is extremely dated And there were several attempts by people (or one person) to gain access into the room whilst we were in it (before I even made the complaint)
Matthew, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The neighbourhood is really nice, easy to get on transport. What was a bit confusing when I got keycode when registered I thought it was the room code. I got an email the day before about mainfloor access code and didn’t know it was room code as well. So was a bit stressed when tried KeyCode and it didn’t work. Just randomly punched in main floor door code and it opened the room.

평범한 숙소입니다.

숙소 위치는 트램역에서 가까웠지만 엘리베이터가 없어 캐리어 옮기는데 불편합니다. 그다지 청결하지도 않고 그냥 하루 이틀 정도 숙박을 원하는 여행객들에게 적당합니다

nicht gut! 3 von 10 aber nur wegen er Lage

leider sollten mal ein Paar Reparateuren im Zimmer Nr. 008 erfolgen. Der Rollladen ist kaputt, der Duschvorhang auch. Alles in allem ist es sehr schade, dass in einem so schönen Haus in dieser schönen Lage so eine Unterkunft angeboten wird. Das Bügeleisen war nicht zu gebrauchen - Leute ich musste ein Hemd bügeln - allen dafür sollte ich Null Punke geben...

2/10 Poor

Schlechte Unterkunft mit gravierenden Mängeln

Die Heizung war defekt. Anscheinend ist das Ventil kaputt. Es sieht so aus, als hätte jemand dagegen getreten. Die Wohnung wurde nicht warm. Auch nach Kontaktversuchen meinerseits, zum Unterkunftanbieter wurden folgende Mängel nicht behoben. Meine Kontaktanfragen und natürlich auch die Anfrage auf Rabatt, aufgrund den Mängeln wurden einfach ignoriert. Die Tischplatte war lose. -> Man konnte nichts darauf abstellen. Die Küche war defekt. Der Kühlschrank war defekt. Die Duschkabine war defekt, sodass man nicht duschen konnte, ohne das gesamte Bad unter Wasser zu setzen. Ich bin eine Nacht eher "ausgecheckt", da die Wohnung zu kalt war. Die Kontaktanfragen wurden ignoriert. Ans Telefon wurde nicht dran gegangen. Die E-Mails wurden nicht beantwortet. Anscheinend wusste man welches Zimmer man vermietet und dass es gravierende Mängel aufweist.

Had no power for our whole stay

Turned up after check in and the room hadn’t been cleaned. Power went out within our first few hours of being there, contacted the helpline multiple times and they said they’d send out an electrician. They never did! Spent the whole trip with no way to charge phones in our room and no lights!
