I stayed here in August 2023. On entry to the hotel the first impression was a classical, well aged building.and furnishings.. the stains on the seats were for sure well aged. The smell was also authentic, I thought there was a dead cat or bird within the sofa. The check.in process was friendly and quick and we were given an old school metal key with huge brass keyring. We were escorted to the rooms by an older gentleman who helped us with our bags and demonstrated the amenities, there was Aircon and it was functional. The opinion of the establishment quickly reduced when the stairs were used.. there we found a scaffold fitted to the building with 8mm steel wire protruding into the walkway. Children would be injured very quickly. Once settled we went to bar.. the bar had a smell which was similar to the dead cat smell in reception but it was more like a mixture of urine and cigarettes. The prices are reasonable in the bar. So one night at 9pm I was walking to my room and saw a pool of vomit on the hall by my room... I walked past it hoping someone would report it and have it cleaned... it was still there at 06.15 the following morning when I reported it to reception; I was told that the cleaners start at 07.00🤣 The morning shower was not correct temperature for a hot water system to remain safe for human use, in Europe we would have failed the compliance check for legionella. The hot water temp.was between 30 and 36 degrees. The shower curtain had some serious stories to tell, and I woidl say it also had its own bioculture. The toilet in my room would flush clean, but then turn brown... it must have had some back flow issues, the smell of my room was unreal... Like troopers we carried on and savoured the experience, eating out in glorious local restaurants and working during the day. One night I noticed how upset the plants looked in the reception, perhaps they were mourning for the loss of their fav cat. Major incident must be reported because at 01.00 hotel staff entered my room, by mistake. I had a heated discussion with the staff who had opened room 218 instead of room 318, the guest in 318 had locked her key in the room.... the hotel staff did not follow professional standard when opening rooms at night. The incompetence and unprofessionalism forced me to ask my boss to rebook, and I left! I add a few photos, the sofa is not wet, it is stained, like the pillows and bead sheets... Being a ginger it was alarming to find black public hair on the bath edge 3 days into the trip.
