1001 Nights Boutique Lofts

Unfortunately, our stay was extremely disappointing. The space felt unclean, unsafe and uncomfortable.

In our room 7 (ground floor and souterrain) the sleeping area and bathroom were located in a basement! Which had a very strong damp, mould smell which was overpowering the whole space. In fact very unhealthy to breath this air in. So - We didn’t feel safe to sleep there, so slept upstairs in the kitchen space on a spare mattress instead.

In the bathroom, we found underwear from a previous guest hanging on the radiator. The mattresses, bed linen and towels were very worn and showed marks and clear signs of use. We found hairs on the sheets.

There was also a door that could not be locked and provide access to another part of the building, which did not feel secure at all.

Compared to the photos shown on the website, the actual room felt gloomy, unclean and had an uncomfortable atmosphere.

We were also surprised to see afterwards that several previous guests had already mentioned similar issues in their reviews, and that these concerns seem to have been present for quite some time. Unfortunately, we did not read these reviews before booking. We were looking at the overall rating of 6.9 on Booking.com and needed to find accommodation at very short notice for the night, so we relied on the overall rating when making our decision.

The accommodation responded that they would have been happy to resolve these issues if we had contacted them during our stay. However, looking at previous reviews, we noticed that the strong basement smell, ventilation issues and the unsecured door have been mentioned by other guests for quite some time. This makes us question why these issues have apparently still not been resolved.

The double bed downstairs isn't quite level, you can accidentally slide off one side, as I found out a couple of times.
The downstairs room was a bit dark.
People coming and going, you could hear the door slam very loudly and hear people quite loudly from the upstairs room.

It was very hot in the apartment, even tho the outside temperature wasn't hot. Unfortunately, the air condition did not work. The stuff immediately provided us with vans. However, since we did work in home office during the day, the upstairs area was unbearable. Also, the bedroom smelled like cigarette smoke from outside during the entire night's. Possibly from the pub next door or backyard. Since no widows can be open, we could not even ventilate the room ourselves.

Die Fenster können scheinbar nicht geöffnet werden., steile Treppen

Kein persönlicher Empfang. Fenster konnten nicht geöffnet werden

Very impersonal, I asked for an extended stay two weeks before staying, and they responded the day before my arrival (I was there only one night). They mention you can leave your luggage, and that is not the case; they send you to the train station lockers. Very disappointing, and the place is not nice.

Ramen kunnen niet open. Mechanische ventilatie maakt lawaai. Laag stof op raamkozijn. Doorgezakte matrassen. Het was erg benauwd in de locatie doordat de ventilatie niet afdoende was en je geen raam kunt openzetten.

Damp basement and dodgy stairs snd tired decorations noisy AHU

Nooduitgang was geblokkeerd. Het was binnen 10 graden warmer dan buiten en er was geen luchtverversing en er kon geen raam open.

Dirty and a strong humid smell in the bedroom

Stinkend doucheputje zodra de douchecel opengaat en dat er geen frisse lucht in de kamer komt ( het was veel te warm en er kan geen raam open). De airco kan aan maar maakt lawaai.

De airco was kapot en er kon geen raam open
Er waren wel 3 blowers
Het is was wel bekend maar niet aan ons gemeld
Het was 29 graden en voelde benauwd

Ventilation not good enough for hot weather. Main ceiling fan not working. Bedroom ceiling fan pulling in smell of people smoking. Without it the Bedroom is a stuffy cellar.
