Extremely negative: multiple reviews report cockroaches, possible bedbugs and bites, dried blood on sheets, stained towels and bedding, and general filth.
Service
4.5
Mixed-to-poor: guests report staff entering rooms without knocking and having to request basic items (towels); one guest could not successfully change the booking — service is below average.

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.

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.

O locatie de evitat, este o cocina insalubra
Pros:

La aceasta intrebare, nu am raspuns. Este o cocina insalubra !!!

Cons:

Nu este : curatenie, mobilierul si cearsafurile murdare si neschimbate, scarile de acces pline de chistoace, mizerie, miroase a urina si a mucegai, in baie nu ai curaj sa intri, rapetul dezlipit, caloriferele de dus la REMAT, .... e ceva inimaginabil.
Nu stiu de ce Boking-ul nu mai face niste controale ca sa nu fie pe platforma lor asemenea locatii !

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.

Horrible, l’appartement était insalubre et ne correspondait en aucun cas comme sur les photos.
Pros:

Rien du tout.

Cons:

L’endroit était très sale. Il y a avait de la poussière partout dans l’appartement. Dans la salle de bain il y avait de crasse c’était dégoûtant. Le plan de travail de la cuisine était sale et les serviettes de bains étaient sales.

La communication avec la personne qui m’a accueilli était pas bonne. La personne a été incapable de me donner les instructions en avance. Je suggérais de faire un message d’instructions automatique.
