Opt for a Room with a Balcony
Guests recommend choosing a room with a balcony for great views of the street and city, despite potential noise.
Be Mindful of Noise
The hotel is located in a vibrant area, so consider the potential for street noise and the presence of a popular bar downstairs, especially for those sensitive to noise.
Consider the Stairs
The hotel is in an old building without an elevator, so be prepared to climb several flights of stairs, which may be challenging with heavy luggage.
Check Room Amenities
Some guests found the rooms to be small and lacking in certain amenities, such as a mini fridge, drawers, or hangers, so it's advisable to review the room features before booking.
Be Aware of Potential Issues
Some guests experienced issues with cleanliness, uncomfortable beds, and maintenance problems, so it's important to set realistic expectations about the accommodation.
Take Advantage of the Location
The hotel's central location near the metro, beach, and various attractions makes it convenient for exploring the city and enjoying the vibrant neighborhood.
Consider Noise from Construction
Guests reported construction noise outside the hotel, so it's worth checking if there are any ongoing construction works that might affect your stay.
Be Prepared for Bathroom Setup
The bathrooms may have unconventional setups, such as lack of shower doors leading to water spillage, so it's helpful to be aware of this before arrival.
Note Check-in Process
Guests mentioned that access to the property may require using a buzzer and stating your room number, which could be inconvenient for late-night returns.
Communicate Your Needs
If you have specific requirements, such as assistance with luggage or concerns about noise, consider communicating these to the staff in advance for a more tailored experience.
