Some friendly/helpful staff members
Low price / budget option
Occasional good customer service reported
Cons:

Payment/booking issues (attempted double charge)

Categories

Cleanliness
1
Multiple reviews describe rooms as very dirty: stained bedding, hair in the bathroom, heavy grime on floors and towels, and pervasive cigarette residue and odors ('molto sporco', 'disgusting').
Service
6.5
Mixed reports: several guests reported rude or dishonest front-desk behaviour (attempts to force cash payment, charging issues), but other reviews praise individual staff (a helpful Indian check-in agent, friendly room attendants and one report of good customer service).
Location
6
Conveniently close to the centre/car rental area according to some guests, but repeatedly described as poorly frequented/unsafe with nightly disturbances — good location but in a rough neighbourhood.
Room Quality
1.5
Rooms reported as in very poor condition: strong smoke smell, stained and wet beds, leaking fridge/flooding, cigarette/cigar stains, and noisy/uncomfortable sleeping conditions.
Amenities
5.5
Amenities appear minimal and poorly maintained (leaking fridge, shower layout complaints, ATM/cash-only policy); some basic needs met but quality is low.
Value for Money
6.9
Mixed: some guests note a low price or 'great price,' and label it budget-friendly, but many feel the poor cleanliness and service reduce real value—cash-only policy further undermines trust.
Food and Beverage
4.2
Standard quality for this hotel tier
Overall Experience
2
Overall predominantly negative: repeated complaints about cleanliness, smoke, rude/unprofessional behaviour, safety concerns and dishonest payment practices; occasional positive staff interactions do not outweigh the negatives.

Pros:

Cons:

Nothing

Pros:

Niente

Cons:

Il letto era umido e di notte mi svegliavo sentendomi bagnato una sensazione terribile, il frigo perdeva acqua e allagava la camera se così si può chiamare, la reception pretendeva di risolvere l’odore della puzza di fumo con un deodorante per ambienti, in bagno c’erano capelli ovunque di altri clienti che hanno soggiornato prima di noi, letti macchiati ma abbiamo deciso di non farci più di tante domande su cosa fosse e il pagamento alla struttura poteva avvenire solo con contanti infatti hanno un ATM nella reception. Non ho mai visto un posto del genere, penso che se un giorno dovessero attuare dei controlli per l’igiene lo chiuderebbero.

On ne s’attendait à rien et nous n’avons du coup pas été déçu.
Pros:

Bien placé proche du centre de location de voitures, mais ultra mal fréquenté. Il faut éviter de sortir la nuit et des personnes viennent toquer à la porte la nuit ou hurle dehors très tôt le matin.

Cons:

Chambre très sale ( la serviette au sol dans la sdb devenait noir à cause de la crasse du sol), lit pas confortable et très bruyant. Très forte odeur de cigarette, les meubles collent à cause des fumées… cire d’oreille collée sur les murs dans la sdb… franchement dégoûtant.
