The hotel suffers from severe soundproofing failures that make peaceful sleep nearly impossible, with guests consistently reporting noise from corridors, elevators, and street traffic. Combined with persistent water pressure problems and declining cleanliness standards, these issues create an unacceptable stay experience.

Door sealing is non-existent. You hear every elevator bell, every word and every door opening and closing in the hallway

Door sealing is non-existent. You hear every elevator bell, every word and every door opening and closing in the hallway and we were furthest from the elevator. They should remove the doors so it doesn't thunder anymore.

On the first day, staff forgot to clean the room. For remaining eight nights room was still not cleaned properly

On the first day, staff forgot to clean the room. We stayed for nine nights, and for remaining eight nights room was still not cleaned properly. Trash like masks and patches beside bed was pushed under bed for several days.

Hygiene and cleaning of rooms is really bad, so that there are still many hairs and stains in bathroom, bed and on all tables during check-in

More attention should definitely be paid to cleanliness. Room felt quite worn and heavily used. There were damaged decorations and furniture, white stains on couch, built-up dirt in some areas
