Not good
Pros:

Just the location

Cons:

I stayed here for one night and was very disappointed with the cleanliness and condition of the room. The room was full of dust, the carpet was dirty, and even the extra pillows provided were stained and unclean.

The microwave was dirty and had visible burn marks inside, which was unpleasant and raised concerns about hygiene. The fridge was also not working properly, causing inconvenience during my stay.

Another issue was that I was asked to pay a deposit upon check-in, despite there being no mention of this requirement at the time of booking. This should be clearly disclosed in advance so guests know what to expect.

Overall, the room did not meet basic cleanliness standards, and the lack of transparency regarding the deposit was frustrating. I would not recommend staying here unless these issues are addressed.

Disappointing, but not awful.
Pros:

The location was incredibly convenient and the size of the room and bed were good. It was clean and the door code system was efficient and secure.

Cons:

The room didn't match the pictures, and had an extra single bed taking up most of the space. The double was the firmest and most uncomfortable bed possible, and the single bed was very narrow and unstable. The shower was cramped, and my room was at the top of the building - lugging a suitcase up three-ish flights of stairs only to collapse onto a solid floor feeling bed was bad. Despite the security of the key system, the window had no lock or latch at all and opened wide enough for a person to easily climb in and out. It would have been nice to open it in the heat but it also didn't have any way to keep it open.
There is an AI check in system which had me pay an extra security fee and then did not give me my door code. The presumably human 'concierge' system is just a whatsapp - they gave me my door code. There's no point messaging for anything else, as I messaged asking for toilet paper on Friday at 12:15 noon and never got toilet paper or any response by the time I left on Saturday just before 10am.
There were also strange noises and banging at all times of day and night, like old pipes in the winter, but it was the middle of summer.

Scam. Stay away.
Pros:

Nothing. Did not stay. It's a scam.

Cons:

This is a scam and Booking.com are offering no support. The hotel does not reply or pick up calls to myself or Booking.com.

They insist on more money and fees post booking. Coincidence or not, within 2 days, experian confirmed my details are on sale on the black market. I've had to cancel my passport (the ID provided before all the additional fees forced) and will need to pay for another to stop the scam going further.

Disgusted and shocked that Booking.com allow this now seeing how many times this has already been reported to them.

Booking.com now not responding to my.complaint either after they insisted I still travelled to see what happened and promised alternative accommodation to then go back on their word.

Overall the hotel is a scam and do not rely on Booking.com to serve you even with better loyalty tiers.
