Overall, for me this is 7/10 because everything is automated. It’s convenient that nobody asks silly questions or wa
Pros:

The value for money is excellent. There is a kitchenette with dishes, a microwave, hot water, convenient access to the rooms via PIN code, and clean bedding and towels.

Cons:

there was a strange smell in the room, the window wouldn’t close, so we had to prop it up with a bag. The floor wasn’t very clean, as if someone had walked around in dirty shoes, and the blue box under the TV was covered in dust. We also arrived at the wrong address because the address with instructions is sent before check-in. It wasn’t a big problem since they provided everything immediately, but we had three large suitcases and hand luggage, so walking for 10 minutes wasn’t very convenient after several hours on the road
