Extremely negative: multiple reviews report cockroaches, possible bedbugs and bites, dried blood on sheets, stained towels and bedding, and general filth.

Room Quality

Poor: reports of a loose/partly broken door with a hole, stained and falling-apart sofa/sofa-bed, unclear heating control and shower pressure/temperature issues; one brief note said 'nice room' but majority feedback is negative.
Amenities
3.5
Below average: wifi worked for one guest, but rooms lacked basic items (no hairdryer, kitchen had no cookware/plates/cutlery), heating issues and curtains left on radiators posed safety concerns.

Pessimo.
Pros:

Non ha assolutamente niente di buono

Cons:

Scarafaggi in camera da letto e in sala, sporcizia ovunque, sangue secco sulle lenzuola, gli asciugamani abbiamo dovuto chiederli, la cucina era totalmente vuota senza nessun accessorio (nessuna pentola, piatto o posate), il bagno piccolo puzza spesso di fogna, ha la doccia che cambia la pressione dell'acqua a suo piacimento e anche la temperatura a volte cala e diventa fredda, ovviamente nessun phon.
Ho tentato appena arrivata di farmi cambiare da booking la prenotazione ma non ci sono riuscita.
Pessimo su tutti i fronti.

convenient to get to where we needed, but wouldn’t stay here again
Pros:

close to the train station
wifi worked

Cons:

the door was very loose, could’ve been broken through with the slightest push,

there was also a fist sized hole in the door,

staff kept trying to get in without knocking or announcing who it was, while we were in the room, multiple times,

towels and bed sheets had stains on them
sofa wasn’t really a ‘sofa bed’, just a blanket on the sofa (which also had stains), part of the sofa was falling apart and had someone’s shirt stuck in the crevice

heating was very high, couldn’t be controlled in the room,

curtains left on the radiator, possibly a fire risk,

bed likely had bedbugs, as i had bites all over me, but couldn’t see any on the bed,

pictures of the place were misleading

Pros:

Locatia langa gara de nord , ben fig pentru cei care sunt în trecere si căuta o optiune de cazare rapida, in special pentru cei care au zbor

Cons:

Nu exista sapun la baie , am găsit prosoapele ude in mașina de spalat , atât de mult interes pentru clienti incat mai bine nu existau prosoape, caldura nu a existat

Extrem de murdar cu mirosuri de urină și tutun.
Pros:

Singura chestie buna la acesta cazare este locația pentru cei care vor sa fie aproape de gara de Nord.

Cons:

Ca idee nu prea are ce sa îți placă, inca de la intrare te întâmpină un miros dens de tutun și urină. Camera cu o mizerie de nedescris și așternuți neschimbate(pline de par de la clienții anteriori) Pe lângă toate canapele pline de pete și murdare prin ferestre nu ai nici o șansă să vezi la cat de murdare sunt. Telecomanda de la aerul condiționat a lipsit.
Ca un plus : am rugat gazda sa stau o, ora in plus peste ora de chack out și a fost de acord. Într-adevăr prețul este unul foarte ok dar cu siguranță personalul de la curățenie nu își face treaba absolut deloc. Ar mai fi alte multe minusuri de menționat dar nu cred că își mai au sensul.

Pros:

Apartamentul a fost in regula. Am ajuns seara, am vorbit la telefon cu proprietarul, ne-a spus cum sa intram . Camera spatioasa, a fost curat totul. Am stat doar o noapte, dar am fost multumita de conditii.

Pros:

I never got any check in details, despite asking several times via various means of messages. I also asked whether I cld could come slightly earlier. I was told I cld but again no check in details were given. There was no key safe or a reception to pick up a key. In the end I had to book somewhere else.

Pros:

This place is awesome! It’s just the area but that has no power. It’s close to city centre, it is cheap and yes you do get 1 room, but it’s really good

embarrassing and awful hotel
Pros:

the worst hotel and experience ever we had in our life.!!
this hotel highly not recommended... please be careful and be aware.! our problems with hotel has been started from the beginning until the end.!!
first there is not a sign of hotel there and you cannot find anyone to open door for you. after 30 minutes waiting there a boy came and lead us inside. there was not any reception to control our ID and help us. after 15 minutes waiting again an indian girl came and gave us a room without any shampoo,soap , proper towel and...!!
there was not even a wifi to connect the internet.
we also had a car they couldnt open the parking door and we also waited like 30 minutes to someone to come and open and close the parking door for us.
the hallway to pass the rooms very tight and dangerous steps. the room was not clean. badly smells came also whole the day from outside and inside of the hallway.
since we went to bed until the morning we could not sleep because the staff or someones in the yard were talking very very loud sound and they were drunk. even someone tried to open our door and hopefully we locked it before sleep.
there was not even a manager there.
i dont know how hotels.com put this hotel as their list.
this hotel is literally embarrassing and awful.

Pros:

This is not a hotel as listed it’s someone’s house renting rooms and passing it as a hotel. It was described as close to Gara de Nord, it is not, no sign outside with hotels name, the room that was given to us it is used for people who are working in the vicinity, the toilets are absolutely dirty with black scrap, absolutely disgusting, the shower looks like a scene from a bad movie - jail . Avoid this place at all costs!

Pros:

1. Provided apartment is not shown on hotel page, which was confirmed by hotel owner, making whole offer a scam.
2. Free parking was constantly blocked by some cars from outside.
3. WIFI is so bad, when it was discoverable only one phone could work with it, most of the time it didn't worked at all.
4. Kitchen is so filthy you don't want to cook there.
5. Hotel was advertised as smoking free, in fact it is stinks so badly of cigarettes, for 2 days of our stay it was very hard to breath.
6. Place advertised as equipped with cookware, in fact there was nothing, no toilet paper, no soap, no dishes, no spoons or forks, just nothing, after several request we were provided with toilet paper, liquid soap for hands, 2 plates, 2 glasses, 2 forks and 2 knifes for family of 5 in apparent with 3 queen beds.
7. Shower, is so dirty and unequipped, it was just disgusting to use it, water stream is week, sockets and light switches are out of the wall, shower head is broken, no hair dryer.
8. Flat-screen TV with cable service is not cable, just antenna with bad reception, one TV remote broken, other missing.
9. Radiators were always shutting down, we had to ask to turn them on couple times a day. Radiator at shower didn't worked.
10. General condition of the rooms was very bad, stains on the walls, wall papers were torn, it seems last repairs were done years ago, holes in the walls and doors, missing light bulbs, switches and sockets are out of the walls.

Pros:

Alquilamos el apartamento de 3 habitaciones y no tiene nada que ver con las fotografías, es un desastre no tiene vajilla , vasos, cubiertos...no tiene toallas ni jabón ni nada de nada....y la limpieza deja mucho que desear.
