Score-only reviews are excluded.

This hotel suffers from serious health and safety issues including confirmed mold, dirty bedding with yellowish pillows, and recurring bathroom hygiene problems. Multiple guests report systemic infrastructure failures - air conditioning breakdowns, electrical power outages requiring room changes at night, and extremely long check-in queues exceeding one hour. While breakfast receives praise, the fundamental cleanliness and operational problems make this unsafe for guests.

Over an hour checking in and same amount checking out

I spent over an hour checking in and roughly the same amount of time checking out. It's the most ridiculous and inefficient process I've ever experienced at a hotel.

1 month ago·United Kingdom·Score: 2/10

Delay of more than 45min just in line for check-in and plus the 15min delay to do the check-in.

6 months ago·Brazil·Score: 3/10

To check in you have to endure queues of around one hour, and for check-out about 20 minutes more.

It took an hour for us to check out, the queue was out the door

Long queue for check in very slow process and finally they gave us our room around 4 pm as check in time is 3 pm

I stayed almost 30 minutes for receptionist to release the room that was already within the scheduled time to enter!

Check-in slow.

At checkout it's absurd. A huge line in the hall and the attendants waited for the maid to go from room to room checking the minibar consumption.

Air conditioning barely worked, motor made constant annoying noise

Air conditioning barely functioned. The motor made a constant and very annoying noise, rooms were not soundproofed and the heat was unbearable.

2 months ago·Spain·Score: 1/10

Air conditioning was not working again, we complained, changed rooms 3 times and the problem was not resolved.

The air conditioner would not turn down, so we had to turn it off periodically.

Room power goes out in middle of night, staff unable to restore it

In this hotel the room power - and not the hotel as a whole - goes out in the middle of the night. The inability of staff to restore it makes them guide guests to change rooms during the early morning.

10 months ago·Brazil·Score: 2/10

The room itself was in an odd shape with some sort of central air conditioning/ventilation machine/electricity generator directly making noise right next to my bed intermittently all night in a locked cabinet.

Toilet was clogged and needed someone to fix it

A very embarrassing situation was that the toilet was clogged and it was necessary to call someone to solve the problem.

Bathroom pooled water and leaked into the room
