When you think of a boutique hotel, you’d expect some sort of a standard. I was honestly a bit disappointed by the overall experience, but then again, maybe i could’ve known by the fairly low rate they’re charging.
-Room: outdated furniture, mould in the shower (i kept my flip flops on whilst showering), bed linen had a bit of a funky smell, half full of bottles shampoo, no showergel, had to let the shower run for approximately 2 mins before hot water came out.
-Reception: depends on who’s on shift. On my day of arrival, the man behind the reception was really uninterested. He didn’t get up from behind his desk, didn’t offer to help me with my luggage, just gave me the roomkey and pointed to where my room is. Didn’t bother to walk me to the room, show me around or inform me about ANYTHING.
When i asked him about the opening times of the bazaar i wanted to visit, he looked at me weirdly, saying it should be closed by now. Didn’t bother to ask if i wanted more information on sightseeing or anything about the city center itself. On my day of departure though, there was another male employee who was a bit more friendly. But overall, it lacked some sort of hospitality in my opinion.
-Location: best thing about this hotel is the location. It’s a walking distance to basically all sights, with lots of restaurants and shops. This is the only strong pro i can mention. If you’re not looking to spend lots of time at the hotel and are ok with real basic stays, you could give it a go.
