Pros:

Все было хорошо, комфортно- кофе,чай,лед,газированная вода из фильтра👍.и самое главное рядом с музеем Пикассо🙌. Но испортили впечатления темные коридоры и шторы из бус перед каждым номером. Когда раздвигали шторы чтобы зайти в номер ощущалось, что бусы липкие, нечистые.

Niet schoon, onveilig maar wel ern toploctie
Pros:

De locatie was top het het bad was ok.

Cons:

Het was vies, vlekken overal op de vloer, meubels en spiegels. Een heel bijzonder, maar onveilig indeling van de kamer, met een glad trapje uit de douche en een hoge opstap naar het toilet. Gek licht in de kamer maar op de gangen donker en je moest door vliegengordijnen laveren om op je kamer te komen. Why?

Pros:

Great position in the Born neighbourhood.

Cons:

The room was not cleaned properly during our stay, especially the floors and the bathroom. We also found some insects, which seemed to be coming from the bathroom. The ceiling windows are a nice decorative feature, but they let in too much light, making it difficult to sleep if you prefer a dark room.

Pros:

It was clean, staff was great. But the place is weird, I wouldn't go here with a friend or any kids. The place is decorated like a brothel. None of which you can see from the pictures.
