Categories

Cleanliness
4
Multiple reviews report very dirty rooms, stained sheets, mold, bad/strange bathroom smells and rusty fixtures; cleanliness is clearly below standard.
Service
9
Mixed reports but several mentions of good room service and proactive check-in assistance; however some serious front-desk failures (no room on arrival, unreturned refunds) are noted. Overall service is described positively enough in several reviews to rate above average.
Location
10
Consistently praised across reviews (e.g., 'La posizione', 'الموقع كان قريب', 'Harika konum') — location is a strong positive.
Room Quality
5.7
Rooms described as small, dark, lacking view, uncomfortable beds and sometimes not matching booking descriptions; one review noted interior decor positively, so middling score reflects mixed feedback.
Amenities
5.5
Several amenities issues: heating not working, broken escalator, extractor/ventilation faults and minibar charging disputes — some facilities exist but reliability is problematic.
Value for Money
6.5
Guests note unexpected charges (minibar), poor room condition and refunds not returned, yet acceptable breakfast/location mitigate this somewhat; value is slightly below to near average.
Food and Beverage
8
Breakfast is described as 'acceptable' by some and 'lacking' by others; overall F&B leans positive relative to other issues.
Overall Experience
6.5
Overall mixed to negative impressions: several 'worst stay' and 'very disappointed' comments due to cleanliness, service lapses and room quality, while location and some service/breakfast positives prevent a lower overall score.

Very disappointed
Cons:

Комната очень грязная, старые пятна везде, ванная комната в ужасном состоянии, ржавчина и гнилая раковина. На рецепшене обещали дать сдачу через 2 дня после заселения, и в итоге никто ничего не вернул. Еще и у меня запросили деньги за использование мини бара, который входил в суму стоимости комнаты. И очень шумно всю ночь. Никому не рекомендую

Cons:

Hello, I have a problem with the hotel where I stayed. When I checked in, I was forced to pay a deposit. When I checked out, they told me that they would return it to my card within one week, but the money never arrived in my account. How can I get my deposit back?
