Mixed reports: several guests praised cleanliness and tidy rooms, but others reported the property was unclean, lack of daily cleaning and issues with towels/linen—overall slightly negative.
Service

Service is often described as friendly and helpful (kind staff, good hosts, assistance with transport); however there are serious negative accusations from one guest about deposit disputes—overall skewing positive due to multiple reports of helpful staff.

1
Mixed: rooms noted as spacious and nearly new, but issues reported with mattresses/pillows needing replacement, a faulty kettle and blinking mirror light—overall neutral.
Amenities
1
Generally positive: basement gym appreciated and kitchen is well-equipped (dishwasher, coffee), though small missing items (salt/pepper, colander) and occasional maintenance problems were noted.

Significant concerns: complaints about being charged extra at checkout, large security deposit taken in one report, and perceived poor cleanliness/service in that instance lead to a notably negative value judgment.
Food and Beverage
1
Limited F&B: no breakfast offered at the accommodation per one review; kitchen provides basics and coffee but lack of on-site breakfast results in a slight negative.
Overall Experience
1
Overall sentiment is mixed: several guests call it a hidden gem, praise staff and repeat stays, while others strongly discourage staying due to location or deposit/service disputes—overall slightly positive when weighing multiple positive recommendations.

Perfect for little budget, well positioned, good personnel.
Pros:

Even if some little things need to be fixed + a deep cleaning; the ratio price / service is really good. The hotel is close enough from bus lines / metro line (15min by walk) and from medical clinics (10/15min by walk). The reactivity and politeness of some personnel is really good. When we were mistakenly put in a smoking room (ask when booking!), we were moved quickly without any problems.

Cons:

Little noisy, the cigarette smell (a lot of apartments are smoker allowed), no dark curtains or blinds.
