Cons:

The bunk bed was broken, the ladder to get in and the bottom of it. We also didn’t have towels.

Cons:

The bunk bed felt very unsafe, it was creaking a lot. A lot of noise coming from the outside street. When we checked in it wasn’t cleaned yet: beds weren’t made, blankets stained, floor dirty and we had to wait for the cleaning lady. The changed sheets smelled weird and the pillow was so thin. Felt very uneasy the whole time.

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

I booked in Douglas house and in my booking day I went there. The owner of the property was there and she was rude, hostile, and aggressive. She gave me instructions to leave the property and go to Luas place and stated that my booking is in Luas place and that I am stupid and it is my fault that I went to Douglas house. I showed her my booking and that it is in Douglas house not Luas place but she just kept attacking and insulting. I paid a lot of money for the room and therefore I should be in the room I picked. But she refused to reason. Imagine you plan your trip and think you will have a good time, only to end up being very sad. I had to renew my data multiple times as there was no WiFi. The room was cold and the heater was not working. The bed linen was very old and overused. Also different colours because they collected pieces of different linenes. The linen was gray but the pillow was blue. The most difficult thing was that the electricity was not working, and it was very difficult to charge my phone or my laptop. I left early because I couldn't stay.
