“the worst stay of my life”
+the view and that's not even their effort.
−I rarely leave negative reviews. I usually contact management, but doubt anyone here listens. Here's what happened: 1. CHECK-IN: We waited 15 minutes outside because the door required a room card we didn't yet have, and nobody answered the bell. Another guest finally let us in. Despite online check-in, we faced a queue; the self-service kiosks incorrectly said our room wasn't ready. 2. STAFF: Our first impression was an employee saying she wasn't “paid enough to care.” That defined the stay: excuses and no action. 3. CLEANLINESS: The room had hair and dust on the floor, and no tissues. I had to find a cleaner and show her photos before anything was done. 4. VIEW: Lovely view. Unfortunately, it was the only highlight. 5. BATHROOM: Weak water pressure, and shower gel never refilled despite three requests. 6. SHOWER: Missing rubber seals left a large puddle after every shower. We reported it three times; it was repaired only 12 hours before checkout. 7. HOUSEKEEPING: We requested cleaning repeatedly on day two, from both shifts. Nobody came. By day three, a night receptionist saw the dirty, wet floor himself and blamed staffing issues. 8. THE BED: We paid for a KING bed but received t

“Good for a one night stay”
+Fab chill out space, comfy bed with curtains, en-suite bathroom (not had this in a hostel before)
−The en-suite was also a negative as meant people got ready in the room rather than a bathroom down the corridor so noisier within the room. And no kitchen or access even to water (once the bar closed) which meant no fridge or kettle etc Quite a walk from the centre

+Ruhige Lage im Oosterpark und trotzdem nahe am Geschehen dank guter Tramanbindung. Junges Publikum, aber bessere Ausstattung als eine Standardjugendherberge.
−Dass wir abreisen mussten.

“Bien como opcion puntual y estancia muy corta por el precio y ubicación”
+La ubicacion y accesibilidad en transporte público
−Como muchos alojamientos de este tipo, no se tiene en cuenta en poner a gente con habitos similares juntos y te encuentras que algunos dormimos a las 22 mientras que otros acabarn entrando de madrugada a cambiarse, ducharse, remover la maleta y comer, encendiendo la luz y haciendo imposible el descanso. Asimismo, el baño es adaptado y sin division, con lo cual mojas todo el baño. Encima la ducha apenas tenia presión. Me imagino que hasta el lavabo de mojaria si la tuviese.

“ci tornerei!”
+Luogo strutturato in un posto bellissimo, molto giovanile e staff accogliente
−All’orario del check in la stanza non era pronta e all’orario del check out la signora delle pulizie mi ha mandato via dalla camera prima e ho dovuto fare la valigia in corridoio
