"We arrived late, after front desk folks had gone home, after midnight. Called the listed number and they sent a guy over to get us in which was really nice, but maybe they should change check-in/open hours. Room was nice and new and clean. Whole place kinda had cam-girl factory vibes tbh"

"We didn’t have high expectations from this place. Check in person wasn’t speaking English but was very helpful. Rooms were clean and beds were comfortable. The common area and specially the restrooms and showers were not very clean. Location is in a middle of nowhere. The price was super high due to the Euro 24 championship. Ok stay but we will probably not stay there again. "

"I stayed a week and at first was a little shocked when I arrived since it was not your traditional hotel. Except for the cleaning staff, there is no physical person on sight. Except for a grocery store, there was no access to restaurants or food. There was a microwave and fridge which I used or eating breakfast or dinner was put of the question.
